Commodore Amiga owners thread!

Just wanted to say Amigas rock. The family got a 1200 when I was 5 and it basically informed how the rest of my life would go! Thanks Dad for buying it off some guy in work.

:edit: I must ask him if he still has is stored, I have the feeling it may have been water damaged :(

well, as long as you have the case, there are people who have boards ready to drop in to get an amiga working again, I know that phill, AKA pure amiga has them, he dropped a 1200 refurb board in for me when my mum managed to bend the pins on the side slot when putting my side slot to flash card converter in, I wish that I could bloody remember what the sides lot is actually called!I use it to move files from my pc over to the amiga, rdy to be burnt to diskette
Phill spends time on the robin hood amiga discord group or here is his site https://www.pureamiga.co.uk/
he is a top notch electronics engineer, who comes highly recommended, he has some interesting stuff on the site's splash page, take a look, I never knew about the modern black tank mouse untill I saw that on his website which can be used with modern Pcs' too
He is none too expensive either just a fair price for a good job
My new a1200 board fitted cost less than £300all in, with postage too, very good guy
I'd like to thank my dad for getting me an acorn electron, when I was like 5 this led me into the 80s' BBC school movement perfectly and helped with my reading so much, playing text adventure games with him, happy memories!
then, much later in my 90s' teens he got me this amiga which definately changed my life forever!
Thanks dad!
