Your comment something to the effect of "for some of us these things are a passion...", "I cant explain it unless your an enthusiast..." is so spot on.

I'm an enthusiast and I think I know what you mean. I bought a non working A1200, swapped out the ROMs (it had one A4000 ROM in it for some reason) for two 3.1's of my own, cleaned it and the (previously non working) floppy drive to within an inch of their lives, swapped the failing PSU for a spare one of my own, wrote and labelled 6 Workbench disks, then sold it for a tiny bit more than I paid for it. It felt like I had to make it live again and had to get it in to its next owner in a decent state.

I been waiting for this one, great work Chis appreciate it. it looked amazing when got it back. I always over bubble wrap anything I ship after I purchased an Amiga 2000 keyboard on Ebay and the idiot shipped it to me, in one of those shipping type bags nothing else. and of course when I opened it up nothing but pieces.

Great job! I might have to recap my A600 as the sound isn't working. There's no corrosion at any of the caps that I can see and almost all the traces look shiny. Maybe they are just dried out and/or any corrosion is happening under the caps...dunno but will give it a go over the summer.

A600's look so strange to me. But never the less - those are fully capable Amigas as well. Enjoyed your video as always and learned something new.

Hi Dr chris. I have to remove a Motorola 68882 from a plcc socket as I suspect its the wrong way round. There are a few different tools on the market can you advise on the tool you would use

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration 2 ай бұрын

The old plcc shovel. Only place I’ve seen the, were on old pentium overdrive processors. Intel made them to remove the old 486 plcc chip’s

Chris, please, for the love of dog, if you're going to use the funny explosion have the audio level equal to the rest of the video! You've got over a 20dB (!) jump between the preceding spoken section and the explosion which can blow speakers, damage equipment and fry wits. It turns it from funny to something else starting with f. Likewise you've got a 10dB jump between your spoken section and "No One Cares" which is also too hot. I dropped the explosion by 10dB which still made it too loud for my taste but carried the explosion meaning, and the "No One Cares" by 3dB which seemed to slot it unobtrusively with your surrounding speech. Remember, audio isn't just about managing the peaks, it's also about the overall intensity. You can think of it as a constant tone at a high level seems to be louder than an intermittent pulse at the same level. Your speech is the infrequent pulse and the explosion is the constant tone, to make them seem equivalent you need to drop the maximum levels of the constant tone. I measured the differences by exporting the audio into Audacity then using the "contrast" analyser to look at the effective dB differences between the sections of audio.
