RTC battery-damaged Commodore Amiga 500 motherboard salvage attempt 

Cool. What's up with it? If you want to send me an email, the address is on the contact page of my website (see video description).

I was sure the nebulous 'third Amiga' here was the non-plus version without the RTC, but perhaps I imagined that. Thanks for the tip regarding the mask/vinegar!

@@flashjazzcat haha, I was asking, because I don't know. Sounds like a good idea though??

@@Octamed I want to get hold of some conformal coating, actually. The reason will become obvious in subsequent repair videos. :)

Yeah I think the 500+ was a UK model (specific to that market)

@@patbreen3859 Ah - I did not know that. Most interesting, Pat.

You know, I don't believe I did. Good spot - thanks!

Thanks! I've always loved the Amiga (I used to have an A600 in the 90s which I sadly gave away), and since I'm not really partisan when it comes to platforms, I'd be glad to get hold of a C64 one of these days too. I need to re-watch some of your Amiga repair videos as well. :)

I'm not in on this hilarious joke. I assume this is not the case, then.

@@flashjazzcat just the idea of using a 68k from an Atari ST. Kids were very defensive about being an ST or Amiga owner.

@@scarter9447 Ah - I get the joke now. :)

Not any time soon, sadly, but many US clients are already sending me their computers for upgrades and repairs. Thanks for the kind comments: I appreciate the US audience hugely.
