Cool kids only!

Okay, I "fixed" my Amiga 1200. I had these problems with it:

The ribbon cable for the keyboard membrane had come undone. It takes a bit of force to get it into its slot correctly. Once I did that, the keyboard worked.

I had been getting video missing colors on the 1080s monitor that I had. It never really worked great. It was kind of garbage that I bought off a guy from IRC 10 or so years ago. Within a couple of years it was dropping colors, both when connected through composite and the Amiga's proper video out cable.

I am calling it. I have at least three retro monitors around here that don't work properly. I've been trying for three years to find a tech that can fix them. It would be different if it were an arcade monitor (we do have some guys who will fix those) but there is also a clutter factor. I am going to put these for free on Facebook Marketplace and if someone want to fix them and sell them, great. I'll give it a week and then recycle them.

Throw them off your roof and put the video on YouTube, you could easily get a zillion hits!

I would love to sell my Amiga 1200 but the prices are so high that most of the people wanting to buy one can't afford them.

I refound this. Linking it.

At one point there was this dude on #comic-scans offering to give me a 1200 for free. Obviously, I never heard back and got the c64 from Flack first.

I'm still leaning towards emulation for anything Amiga. That's fucking cool as hell though you are working with real hardware ICJ.
