    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 ;)

    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

    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.

    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.
