How do I get back the amiga thing?

Well, if one of those 1200's work still, you'll be pretty well off. Getting a replacement keyboard isn't so bad, and the peripherals aren't so expensive either.
 
Where in the world are you located?

Yes, definately fix the 1200 with the 040 processor. Sounds like you missing hardware isn't that significant and if you don't have a hard drive go comfact flash.

Emulation has its merits (and I'm a MorphOS user), but if I had the hardware on hand (even if it needed work) I'd refurbish it.

Heck, I passed up on a non-functional A500 on ebay that I could have had  for $.01 (because I would have had to pay candain shipping and then fix the bloody thing). till think I should have bought it.

Go for it Dude.

Franko, you usually rotate through avatars pretty quickly.
That bunny's really starting to creep me out.

I quite like the bunny. It's a lot less creepy than the creepy "pee time", or whatever it was girl :-) (cant for the life of me remember who's avatar that was/is though).
In fact given time I might feel inspired to make myself an avatar later today. Im not a fan of the rendered avatar's doing the rounds on AO at the moment, but if I can make a creepy cute thing to compliment Franko's bunny then maybe together we can start a revolution!! (ok, I admit, I got a bit excitable there, but dagnamit, I wanna see more creepy cute things).

Oh yeah, I forgot that one. You are absolutely right! For all time creepiness the "pee pee time" avatar wins. I've got goose pimples right now just thinking about that one (let alone seeing it).
