This is the BEST coin/diode for the Amiga.  It mounts above the motherboard, so you can see the original mount for the battery.  This is handy if you wish to sell the system or to show others the condition of the mb.  Some coin batteries kits cover the motherboard, which IMHO is a bad idea.

I have tried many options with the 3000 for battery replacement, trust me on this one...

Everything comes in the kit and works perfect.

Here are the pics to install this kit:

Hi folks

Been working my way through the site.... have all the bits I need to replace the barrel battery in the amiga 3000, but I can't find any reference to the diode replacement.

For the Amiga 2000's the consensus is to replace R803 (that's a seperate project), but is there an equivalent on motherboard for Amiga 3000, and if so where?

Before I go to the effort of disassembling the fragile machinery, want to gather my facts (and piccies)
