Amiga Recycling

[irishmike]

Greetings all:

As of today (June 20, 2006) we are officially launching our company in Kansas City, Missouri USA.  We are planning to fix vintage machines (especially Amiga) and we are looking for all kinds of donations in parts.  Basically, we have a drop off scenario going for this time, but really we will take software, hardware, accessories anything EXCEPT monitors.

We are right now compiling a stockpile of repair parts and in some cases would pay shipping, but because the company has a rather tight bottom line, we will not be buying anything from ebay.   Some of the donations will go for our project and others will go to fix machines.   Currently, we make zero profit if we fix one.

It is a big project and all donations will be helpful, so if you have Amiga stuff you need to get rid of, let me know what it is and I will try to get it out of your hair.

Part of the mission of my company is to raise awareness of the community and help revitalize the brand.

A dreamer?  I may be.  But I am willing to try to stake how I make my living on it.

Anyhow, hope some of you can help.

We are working on that as we speak.

I hope it works out too.  We have to of course, get some parts in stock before we can make our offerings, but once we have them... it would be nice :-)

My initial feeling is that there would be plenty of work.

Do you mean as in certified?  All my technicians and of course myself are veteran PC and Macintosh Technicians.  We are familiar with the hardware and how PPCs work... we have Electronics at component level skills (ie soldering and such) I used to fix VCRs when they were around for a TV and VCR repair shop.

So our techs have lots of computer experience, but honestly not any certification for Amiga.  In fact, I would like to get some service manuals for the A1200, A2000, A3000 and A4000 for good reference. In fact if any of you have these in PDF format and would be willing to send them, please PMAIL me.

We are by no means amature at it though :-)

Check your PMAIL my friend :-)

Thanks.


@everyone

If you decide you are going to sell anything (on eBay) Amiga related (software too) please PMAIL me with the information, I might just save you listing fees!   We of course, are looking for donations and could REALLY use your help.

I personally am still looking for a few pieces of kit especially
this.
