    Amiga 500 - Retrobrite?

    I avoid cream because the danger of marble effect is just there. I prefer 35% peroxide mixed with water to 1 peroxide/3 water quantity. Get a plastic box from IKEA, the Samla 79x57x18 cm/55 l is fine. Mix the water with peroxide, put plastics inside, put transparent membrane on top, leave it to...

    What's happening over at RetropassionUK?

    I had a heated discussion with him in one Amiga fb group. I bashed retropassionuk in one of my messages and he originally pretended to be someone else asking 'what's wrong with them'. I replied 'with HIM'. He then started saying a bunch of 'I do this, I have 99% ebay positive blah blah' and...

    Modern Amiga PSUs: deeper than a rabbit hole!

    I use a MeanWell RT65B for sometime now inside a 3D printed case. It is connected to my A1200 with Blizzard 1230IV (CPU + FPU). Runs just fine. Recently measured with multimeter, it is rock steady.

    What brand of CF cards currently available are good for an Amiga?

    Most of the CF/SD/mSD cards with Sandisk logo on ordered from China are fake. Problem is that you can't be sure until you get them and compare with images in some online articles. Photos do not show anything, they are also not real. Best bet is Amazon (directly sold by Amazon) or a reputable...

    Retr0bright on it's own is not a permanent solution - here's why...

    Liquid can provide smoother and uniform result. Cream can do the "marble effect", especially when dealing with cases and bits from cases. You need to check often and spread the cream under the plastic foil in case it is concentrated. Not sure about 35%, 12% liquid is something I am interested in.

    Retr0bright on it's own is not a permanent solution - here's why...

    My A1200 is like that. I treated the keys with hydrogen peroxide 3% since it is impossible to find liquid HP > 3% here. The result was exactly as the second photo since 3% + sun did its best but was not perfect. I also applied a UV protector spray. The photo before is from 2020. The photo after...

    Wanted MagicWB - where to get the full version?

    Registered MagicWB gives you the MagicWB-Demon. More of it here: http://www.sasg.com/mwb/faq.html However, I think that you can have colors displayed properly with IconLib from Aminet.

    Closed A1200 PSU (white) cable (the one with the 5pin)

    I am looking for an original A1200 or A500 PSU cable, the one with the 5pin connector and white-ish color (not grey ones). I want this to be uncut and include the bit in the picture. I also prefer the 5 pin to be in the best possible condition and the cable itself not to have cuts, being...

    What's happening over at RetropassionUK?

    Update. Got my refund today. Paid 159.37€ + 3,98€ currency exchange fee, got back 150,71 back, probably due to all those currency conversions. :(
