I feel that I've bought someone's problem here.


That's exactly what most Amigas are, especially after 15-20 years of floating around.

Think how much more you'll like it when you get it running, though.

The chips should say 8520 on them, I believe.

ALL Amiga 4000 need repairs.


What about one that's just been repaired?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it I say.  You may be correct in saying "ALL Amiga 4000 will need repairs," but if it's currently working, changing parts wouldn't be considered a repair, but preventive maintenance.

As for this thread, it has chronicled ceaser's complete disassembly of the machine in what could be considered amateurish attempts at repair.  I wouldn't expect the seller to take responsibility for a machine that was pulled apart and poked at by someone who may or may not be qualified to do so, not that this seller had taken any responsibility in the first place.  No guarantee means no guarantee.

I doubt he needs it, he stopped posting in this thread in 2009.  His A4000 probably hit the trash bin in early 2010.
