There is one of my rules, when it comes to retro-spare parts: Always buy at least two of it ! I guarantee one or the other will break or you will never find it again - haha. And yes - I ordered a lot of stuff and cannot find it. It simply disappeared. I am sure, nobody took it. it just dematerialized.

Very nice work. I've kind of steered away from Amiga 600's over the years. They always smell a little fishy ;)

audio issues, seems familiar, I uploaded super-short video of the ol' girl

Another great Video, thanks ! When I see an Amiga 600 I think of Commodore's stupidity and waste of resources.

Chris, any chance of doing a series on how to play old amiga games in 2024? Just seeing these old amigas live again warms my heart greatly, I was bought up on 8bit computers like the ZX Spectrum etc, seeing an amiga for the 1st time blew my mind, especially the games. I know it can be done via emulation but I prefer the hardware versions. I bet I am not the only person who would enjoy this? Lots of regards from New Zealand!!

Congratulation, Chris for another fix and giving an A600 a new life. I am interested in that self running demo in the left top corner. What is it? It looks cool. Wish to build one myself. Hope you can give me a hint? 😊 thx.

all the parts and doohickies are listed in the description below each video, the pixel art is a Divoom pixoo max 64 from divoom dot com, it uses an app that you can download commodore and amiga and other things

Dr Chris I am doing a rgb to scart, scart to HDMI converter can you recommend a good Scart to HDMI box converter. Unfortunately my 500 is pal and a friend told me this is a good way to keep legacy 15khz and do pistorm for and rtg.

GBS8200 series are dirt cheap. retrofriends on ebay sells complete units turn key with cables and all

@samuelbanya Ай бұрын

Dumb question but how much do you charge for repairs? Debating getting an Amiga 500 on eBay that's probably broken since I can never find a decent one in my area.

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Ай бұрын

If you read my about me, you will know that I repair these for free

@samuelbanya Ай бұрын

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration oh woah, good to know. I will definitely hit you up on this but will definitely donate etc. thanks man

@plattcriceta1719 Ай бұрын

paying that much for those connectors bc you seem to not care about costs is the reason the price is that far up, @Chris. Those connectors are still available but ppl seek out ebay and such and get scammed by the prices YOU helped being established.

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Ай бұрын

Sordans website is the same pricing
