With our machines getting older, just what are the main issues in maintaining things in good working order?
....... but I just LOVE my Amiga.


Commodore farmed out the manufacture of the keyboards to a number of different companies.  Some last longer than others.  Having a spare might be a good idea.  I personally love the Amiga's keyboard ergonomics.

The original mice are spotty in their longevity, too.

1084 and other compatible monitors are getting in short supply.

I haven't encountered any problems that could not be repaired or worked around. ;)  I intend to keep them working for as long as I am.  My real concern is the logical end of the Amiga time keeping.  No one talks about this.

Isn't vinegar a mild acid and baking soda a mild base?  It seems there was a rocket toy powered by this combination when I was a kid.  One or the other should help neutralize any kind of chemical battery leak.
