Australian Varta Death Amiga 3000 repair 336 P1

About this video

Part 1 of a two part series follows an Australian Amiga 3000 that arrives for a small job and turns into a long repair of corrosion and electrolytic damage.

Good to know: An Amiga 3000 has mains voltage inside its power supply, and capacitors that stay charged after unplugging; residue is corrosive. Part 1 of 2.

Why watch it

Chris Edwards frames this as the first half of a long fight against corrosion and electrolytic rot, so the outcome waits for part 2. Useful if a Varta leak has hit your own Amiga 3000.
