As many of you know, I offer high quality Amiga upgrade and recap service on my other thread:

Service-for-Amiga-4000-3000-2000-1200-600-A3640-A3630-capacitor-SIMM-socket-HDD-amp-FDD-port-repair-or-replacement

I have decided to offer a premium service package for Amiga 1200 and 600 models. This service is for people who want the absolute best for their system, both in the quality of work and best available parts.

This package is a result of my experience recapping and servicing hundreds of boards, and address - as a preventive work - the most common faults, so probably you don't have to worry about your system going faulty again, and even if it would, chips can be swapped out using a simple tool within minutes, instead of sending it back and forth for expensive repairs.

The main advantages offered are:

- Organic polymer brand capacitors (Panasonic, Sanyo, Würth etc.) - best quality around, they will NEVER leak again
- Highest quality sockets and parts from 3M and AMP
- Original NOS Amiga chips (not pulls) never been used and will hold for many years
- The best quality rework around, IPC level, nearest manufacturing quality
- One price which is lower than ordering the upgrades individually, includes hours of work and testing.


This what is included in the package:

1. Full recap using organic polymer capacitors, they will NEVER leak and are the best possible option
2. New CIA chips, socketed, for stable ports, keyboard and FDD operation - the most common fault
3. RF module removal for enabling VGA or DVI output
4. Timing fixes for ACA cards for better signal integrity
5. Flicker fix check and fix on FDD/HDD acces - 'Filippino bug' if needed
6. Composite color stability check and decoupling on U12 if needed
7. PCMCIA activity LED components install (missing by factory)
8. Full cleanup from dust and dirt (only IF needed) of the entire board, including connectors - will look like new.

This work is only available for FULLY working motherboards, with NO corrosion from leaking capacitors. This is to ensure the quality of the state of the board.

Please send me a PM if interested and have well lit, in focus, high resolution photos of your motherboard ready, with both top and underside of the board, and closeups of the battery area (A4K) and caps.

I don't see a price listed for this particular service, or will it depend on the state of the board?
 
Local work complete, new caps (will never leak again), new CIA's, RF removed for Inivision ECS output. Also a new IDE port as some pins were broken

The commodore 2058 doesn't have leak prone SMD caps. And there is only 2 radial electrolytic capacitor on it which seldom leak so better to replace them when there are actual problems.
 
Just curious, the 1000uF 10v, are those Organic Polymer as well? They also seem to be labeled GXL, so they would be United Chemi-Con caps not Panasonic, Sanyo or Würth. I'm assuming you mean just the SMD caps are Organic Polymer?

All of them are organic polymer including the radial caps.

Very pleased with the super and highly recommended work done on my old board, looking forward to setting it up with a new old stock case and keyboard. Together with the lovely Blizzard 1230 IV you also sold me, i will surely enjoy many hours of care-free retro fun.

Thanks a Million!
