Amiga 1200 Restore and Repair

I was very generously given an Amiga 1200 by the past chairman of ICPUG (Independent Commodore Products User Group). // Kindly sponsored by PCBWay - high quality PCBs for just $5 https://www.pcbway.com

ICPUG still maintains an online presence to this day: http://www.icpug.org.uk
