Hello from Norway

Hi,

Since I took my old 500 from my parents' last year I've been diving into the hobby again.
First, started with the 500, recapping both the Amiga and the 1084 monitor, then installing a Pistorm.
I've just gotten a 1200 now, which I also have recapped.

Also, I've been collecting consoles and arcade cabinets for the past 15 years.

I thought it was a good time to get in touch with the community and share experiences.

Hi, I'm new here too! Been thinking of recapping my 1084 but worried I might make things worse, how did it go for you?

If you're experienced with recapping any device that has through hole capacitors, this is not different. Actually, quite straightforward and easy.
I've been recapping arcade monitors and consoles for a few years though...
