Make sure you get the right Agnus for your Amiga. The wrong Agnus could destroy your computer as they are not electrically compatible.
Ai
Vesalia offers a 8372A-2 Fat Agnus for just €4.90 (inc. VAT, exc. shipping costs). Is this one compatible with the Amiga 500? I know it's originally a CDTV chip.

Phew, this is not something I will do again.
I'll rather get myself an a600hd or something like that.
I installed the chip, wich ran, though the screen was aligned wrong and some games didn't run or were running with glitches, or were running too fast (I didn't do the modification mentioned on that site yet).
And I just did the modification, but then the Amiga (Amiga 500) crashed from the beginning; no video output at all. Then I soldered everything back as it was and put the old agnus (8371) back in. Everything's working fine again.
Scratching solder points away from the motherboard, 'tis not something I do regularly, or well, never, I don't know how many etched layers there are on such a board. :nervous:
