English Amiga Board - View Single Post - I just bought an Amiga, any recommendations?

I'm not sure how to tell if the capacitors are original, but I assume they are. The computer doesn't seem to have been looked after very well so I think it's unlikely to have been refurbished. The capacitors don't smell and look really perfect, so I'm guessing they aren't an urgent thing. How do I go about getting them replaced?

Also, I found this CF adapter:

https://amigakit.amiga.store/product...roducts_id=883

...which I'm assuming is the sort of thing I need. But on the same site they have this:

https://amigakit.amiga.store/product...ducts_id=12672

...would that do the same job? I would find it far easier to work with SD cards than CF, which I don't have a reader for.

Do I need to keep under 4Gb? The Amiga has Rom 3.00 inside with the purple double tick boot screen.
