New to Amiga after 10 year absence

Gribnitz · 29 July 2020, 14:50

I have several Amiga's but they have been neglected for a few years. There is so much new stuff available now I am a little overwhelmed.

Current collection:
Amiga 500 x 2
Amiga 3000
Amiga 1200
Amiga 4000 (still have the box for this one).

It usually makes sense to take care of your Amigas, the A3000 and A4000s are sought after and cost quite a few bucks to buy in good working condition as you might have noticed if you looked around on ebay etc. The A1200 is also somewhat costly. So maybe you should send in the mobos of these 3 for a recapping service - its money well spent IMHO.

You can find threads in this forum that list people all over the world who can do recapping services.

After the machines are running nicely you can start looking at other stuff like ROM upgrades and expansions. ;-)
