Hi all,
Thought I'd share the progress of my A1200 alterations. I was somewhat inspired by a black A1200 sold on here a while back, and decided that I really wanted one myself. Thus far, she looks like this:
It has CDTV keycaps (except for W and D, which were made by myself from the original keycaps) from a duff keyboard, and the motherboard (1D4) has been recapped and stripped of its modulator by Bebek. The floppy drive has been swapped with an FZ357A, so can read/write DD or HD disks, and the HDD replaced with a 4GB CF Card - I've an 8GB one on the way to play with too. The black PSU I think is an Amiga Technologies part; I've a VLT60-3000 on the way at the moment to upgrade it with, as it's a standard 25W supply as is. I've also been lucky enough to source both a black and white Amiga Technologies mouse - perfect for two player Lemmings, and finally not pictured, I've obtained a pair of Honey Bee SG2's (Master System control pads) which function as proper two button controllers (for games that support them).
I had to make two of those keys myself, which I documented here: https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?79802-Need-to-make-a-replacement-CDTV-keycap
I've a couple of other mods planned at the moment; one of which being an internal DVDROM (waiting to hear back from another chap on here for the mounts), and a new black case from the recent Kickstarter project.
Eventually, I'd like an Indivision AGA Mk1/2 to fit (not 2CR), an IDE-Fix Express and a Blizzard IV 1230. With patience, I'll have them all
Colin
Edit: lol - turns out that a 2cr was just what I was after
