Richards Childhood Amiga 500 With Original Varta!

About this video

An Amiga 500 with original Varta battery damage gets a new CIA, ROM work, a resistor removed and an LS157N mouse controller chip, followed by a deep clean and repainted metal.

Good to know: Battery residue is corrosive. Soldering brings burns and fumes; old solder contains lead.

Why watch it

Here the Amiga arrives untouched since its first owner, which makes it a look at Varta damage left alone. The maker says it ends up good as new, and the video also tours a redesigned studio.
