A2000 Restoration

[Rockeulven]

Thanks to the Bruv, I have acquired a sick A 2000. I have big things planned for her

With help from my fellow Amibayans I hope to give her a new coat of paint after a shotblasting the old rusty case and a nice new powder coat paint from a local metal restoration company. I've got a new front bezel coming from here soon as well.

In the mean time her innards will be removed, got a nasty battery to remove, and a cap next to the Paula chip is ready to blow She came with a A2090 disk controller with boot roms and a memory card and genlock. Need a good clean as the whole thing was stored in someone's garage by the amount of dust, spiders and dead wood lice in the corners

I'm looking for a keyboard if anyone has one in the UK going

Will keep you posted on progress and bits I need to buy of you

Pics coming soon

Looks like the motherboard is gonna need some work there

Sorry for stating the obvious

Great that you are saving another miggy from eternal death

Well, it lasted for 3 days with intermittent read errors from the floppy and random green screens and now she has spat out the Gary chip oh:icard

So the next step is to replace all the caps and try Gary from the 500, and it was going so well too a bit more TLC and touch wood she will live again soon.
