Just wondering if anyone else has used this service and what the turn around time was ? I have an A1200 board with them at the moment and its been there since around 7 th of february and its now almost April, last I heard it was being soak tested almost 2 weeks ago on the 16th March. Just wondering if this is normal ? I have a few more boards to be done, but at this rate its going to take about a year as Im just sending them one at a time lol.

Hello,
Best to ask about this through your open Support Ticket directly to the Technician.
That will give you the most expediant answer.

Yes, just add your comments and update the ticket to ask the Technician for more information.
Re the original post, Im just wondering what the turnaround time is in general has been for users of this service, this isnt a complaint about AmigaKit
And additionally the status on my order has now changed, thank you

Also wouldnt mind knowing this. I can do them myself but if theyve been leaking for a while I tend to find myself losing a few of the pads which I cannot repair. If I had this kind of service at my disposal, I may occasionally use it when I get an Amiga that I suspect of having leaky caps. 
Capacitor renewal is a fairly straight forward procedure for a suitably experienced Technician. However, complications can arise on some boards when the tracks are heated up and expose other failing components. This is when the procedure becomes a repair which takes longer time to perform. Repair times are dependent on the time taken to diagnose the fault (not necessarily the time to repair components). Every old Amiga is different, some faults can be identified quickly whereas others are very time intensive.
Thank you for the explanation
