Greetings Heiroglyph I live in Corpus Christi TX, your neighbor 2 hours away.  I own a retro video game store here in Corpus for games ranging from Atari to PS2/Xbox 1.  I dont normally sell amigas because people here dont really know about them too much, but I do own a few and will be more than happy to help you out anyway I can.

Do you ever make it down to Corpus?  I go to San Antonio every so often and would love to meet another fellow Amiga enthusist.

Drop me a PM and we can see if we can help you out.

I got your PM.  I will be happy to help out if I can.  I did the cap replacement job on my Amiga 600, and my 2 CD32's, and more often than not it did fix the problems I was having.

I dont mind meeting in San Antonio, I can visit my friend.  I would also like to offer my store, we have a great rec room with a new shiny Tron Pinball,Avatar, Tron Arcade machine, and 2 Mario Pinball machines. and a giant HD projection screen.. like over 120".

It might be nice to plan a regular Texas event 2 - 4 times a year, and help each other out with our Amigas and such.  I certainly dont mind doing some soldering work for any of you all local people to help the effort.

The screen can indeed show PAL and NTSC, it is quite a versitile projector..

I just took another look at the group ChaosLord setup, 8 Texas members? That is amazing, I did not realize there were so many Texas Amiga enthusists.  We really should all plan a meetup if possible.. and we should invite Darrin as well, since he is in Louisana and only a hop skip and jump away.. besides who would not wanna meet a man with 6 fingers who plays the banjo.. haha

I am ok with helping out in planning a little mini-con that meets a few times a year if desired.

Heiroglyph, I think I agree with you, somewhere in San Antonio would be a great first meeting as you have all that equipment that you want to thin out.  Let us know a good time for a visit and maybe some of us can make the trip.
