Some shots of my current project. A4000. LOTS of traces to repair on this one. You can see the cleanup progress from the first two shots compaired in the last two. Long way to go yet.

So its amazing, this nasty A4000 lives again! This was WAY WAY more work than I ever expected. Enjoy! Here is the project album if you would like to see the progress of it. :banana:

An absolutely AWESOME FUN project I was more than happy to get done at last! I'm glad it arrived safe and you are having fun with it!

... and another A1200 will make few more years. Thank you Acill for you great work. Now, I need to make my A1200 desktop ready , this particular motherboard was waiting for this time... 20+ years.

More to come!

Its been awhile since I showed off some work, and I am sorry about that. I've been updating my web site a lot though. Most work is housed over on it now as I complete things. Take a look over at http://www.acill.com for the blog and pictures!

Now, here is a beautifully done CD32 I just finished tonight!

Love the stickers, man.  Looking forward to seeing one on my next work, which will either be my CD32 or my A500+.  Oh, or maybe my 2000.  No, wait, I have another 4000D here, and a 3000 waiting to be rebuilt.  OOOOOOOOoooo!!!!

Acill you forgot to put sticker on my A1200 , it feels like it is not complete. Now I'm not sure if I want to send you my third A1200 for recap .

Haha, well I just got these in yesterday and didn't have any before they came. I will add some to the box next time

Its been awhile since I posted in this thread, travel sucks when you have to do it for work so often! I thought you all would enjoy this current hand building of an A3640 accelerator I am doing. Yes I have access to reverse engineered new boards and parts.

The plan is to do swaps for these once I get faster at it for $150 plus return shipping.  You send in your dead 3640 and get a working one back with new parts and a blue brand new board. Enjoy! And no I am not ready to start doing these on a regular basis just yet.

Where did you get a new board.  I've seen mention of a new A500+ board and now this one, is someone remaking boards for all the models?

[LoadWB]

Can you do the 060 upgrade, as well?  I'd definitely be in for one.

John Hertell is selling them (the 3640 PCB only) on Amibay and Amiga Facebook groups.  His username on Amibay is Chucky.  

The A500+ board isn’t available for sale anymore.  Ordering ended back in November 2016, and all boards were delivered back in April.
