Acill's Amiga Repair Thread

[LoadWB]

I got notification a couple of days ago that my new 1200 case is coming, so I am waiting to put my Acill-recapped 1200 together until I get the new case

[LoadWB]

Whoa whoa whoa... can you do an 060 conversion on a 3640??

[LoadWB]

That's my purty A4000 motherboard... and I just got notification that he's dropped it off for shipping, already.

Guys, seriously, get your stuff fixed right here -- fast (of course, remember sometimes he has to have a life, too,) well done, and reasonably priced.  This makes two systems for me, an A1200 and the A4000D, and I'll be sending him more.

[LoadWB]

Thanks for the shoutout!

Speaking of NOT having someone do things right. Here is some shots of an A4000 ROM socket replacement gone wrong that I am having to rework and repair that someone had a friend do for him. I dont think I want a friend touching my stuff if it turns out looking this way!!!!

*sigh* I have to admit, much of my early work in the days I was learning to solder looked something like this.

[LoadWB]

Yeah, but at least its easy to repair with the proper tools. It just takes a lot of time.

I should send you my "Warp Speed" cartridge I, er, fixed a long time ago

[LoadWB]

Woot!

[LoadWB]

So damn cool.  Watching with deep interest.

[LoadWB]

Where did those 8520 replacements come from? Are they custom just for this build or is someone (you?) selling them?

Forget that; I want to know what those Legos in the upper-right are for

[LoadWB]

As someone who has sent several items already, anyone who actually believes you're charging too much I would call misguided, at best.

Acill is performing a great service for the community.  What he does for us is truly a labor of love and he's only asking to make meager margins on his work, his time, and his experience to do it correctly.

I challenge anyone who thinks he's charging too much to do one of the following:

1) Find someone who will do it cheaper and with the same quality
2) Do it yourself

[LoadWB]

Love the stickers, man.  Looking forward to seeing one on my next work, which will either be my CD32 or my A500+.  Oh, or maybe my 2000.  No, wait, I have another 4000D here, and a 3000 waiting to be rebuilt.  OOOOOOOOoooo!!!!

[LoadWB]

Can you do the 060 upgrade, as well?  I'd definitely be in for one.
