Amiga 1200 restoration now online.
« on: November 11, 2007, 05:10:47 PM »
I have finally finished creating the tutorial on restoring an Amiga 1200 back to its forma glory.

It guides you through all the steps needed, to strip it down, paint and rebuild.

It is image intensive so you will need a gfx card and a beefe miggy to view it. Or just use the PeeCee.

I hope you find it useful. I am just finishing off my PeeCee PSU to A500 PSU case conversion off.

This will be online soon.

A lot of hdds, including that one, dont have the holes in the right place!

The mobo was left in the shield. the lacci band is fine, as long as you dont cover any vent holes. it also acts like suspension if you move the miggy.

We see how the band lasts. Like I said that is a new drive with no holes on the bottom to screw into. and of course the cradle as no sides so the hd cant be installed that way.

So it was either gaffer tape or the lacci band!  :lol:
