Should I fear battery leakage on a A1200?

Oh, that's the other issue I was forgetting about. How much years does it usually take for the capacitor problem to start to reveal itself?

Is there anyone doing the 'recap' services on the Netherlands? Belgium or Germany would be an second option too.

Dont fix it if it aint broke.

If your 1200 is working fine dont touch the caps.

If we are talking about A1200 (and all 25+ years retro electrionic in general) - this is VEEEERY bad advice.

well stachu i cant argue with you as you are a serious expert. Its my own experience that amigas if they are working and you start to dissasemble/mess with them it can cause them to have instability. If you have a competant amiga tech to do the recap then im sure its ok. i'm just not big on fixing things that are working when its comes to amigas..
