    From Mandarax@21:1/156 to All on Sun Oct 23 20:46:42 2022
    Anyone skilled in refurbishing older Amiga hardware? A friend of mine has one sitting around and I was thinking of taking it off his hands. It needs the usual refurbishing to get it back in tip-top shape, or so he claims. Just searching out any leads

    ... 24 hours in a day and 24 beers in a case. Hmmmm...

    To which Commodore Clifford replies...

    Might be good to know that myself for when I get into Amiga.

    Been focusing lately on getting all sorts of Atari testing gear to fix
    many of my ailing Atari machines.

    Not a lot of people left supporting the old retro scene, and it seems to
    me like we're losing more every day.

    I don't know, but funny you mention that, I recently had a thought about trying to start an Amiga BBS on an emulator recently..
