Wow wow wow . Stunning save (in progress) proof you NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!
That was one rusty A3000. You done some nice work on it thus far! Thanks for the video :D
you gave her more love in those few days than it had in the last 20 years. great job and skills!
Wow, what a job. You Chris are an Amiga God, resurrector of the dead Amigas.
Amazing you were able to save this 3000! Awesome! The 3000 is one of the best Amigas released!
Another one saved! Great job. Gotta catch 'em all.
I think this qualifies as necromancy! Amazing job.
Thanks for the hot tip on desoldering.
i can relate Chris,i bought a A3000 off a guy that had been in a apartment fire,it was doused with water and foam and sat like that in a shed for 5 years after. Don't know why i do these things,but i guess i felt sorry for the poor A3000.The psu was solid rust,the motherboard was black with soot and water damage. I removed all the chips and dish washered the board after scrubbing it. I restored the old girl back to almost new,hand scrubbing the soot and corrosion off the chips and changing some sockets, turned out to be a super reliable A3000 i kept for a long time. Time consuming to repair these!
Holly Rust Bucket Batman! 😳😳😳 Wow! Never seen a rusty Amiga like that before. Hope that wasn’t “Q”’s A3000? Oh wait I bet he hasn’t sent it to you yet? 😉🤣😂 Definitely an Amiga to save! Good stuff Chris👍🏻
Holy cow, what a mess but its looking great already, Looking forward to the rest of the series!
In the next episode a subscriber delvers a bucket full of rusty iron filings with a Commodore badge on top, and Chris revives it back into a working Amiga 2000.
Coming soon
Amazing! Keep up the good work!
Nice to see another Amiga saved!
Congrats on 10K subscribers. Amazing rust cleanup on this!
nice job! i would bake the electronics after ultrasonic bath in low temp oven to dry out quickly.
Nice job, greetings from Poland.👍
Wow what a great restoration!
I find your videos fascinating and relaxing too. Have just joined your patreon to say thanks 😊
Thank you so so much!!
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration no worries. I find your videos really great. You are a talented restorer
Love your commitment to this!
Wow, where was that Amiga stored the last 20 years? In a cold windy barn? 😲
The lower shielding of my A1200 I bought two months ago, is quite rusty in one single corner! It's a miracle for me how this could happen.
Wet attic
Actually a bit shocked. Those machines weren't cheap and even 30 years after should have some respect from owners. Nobody trashes things that had a steep price and are now being hunted by vintage collectors.
Amazing brother
Nice one! Congrats on the 10k!
Wow, that power supply ended up looking great! Love all the appearances of Moana :D
Wow, talk about resurrection! You are treading in the dark arts my friend LOL!
Chris, can I recommend EvapORust - like the machinist guys use. Its excellent. Great vid. The owner will be 'made up' as they say in Northern England.
She lives! That is awesome!
To many darn commercials, though. It popped up like 12 commercials in the middle of the video. Yucky.
Dang
I'm heartbroken for this magnificent amiga can't wait for it to live again! !
Parts 2 and 3 will mend your heart
Not to sound like an Allstate Ad but it's in good hands.
Computer + Moisture + Time = Hell
😳 whoa.
Chris you need to rename your videos and call this one the Titanic. OMG what a rusty old Amiga :(
FYI
Moiré, from French, is pronounced "Moe-ah-ray"
(yes, the "ah" in the middle could be from Mona...)
Love your videos! I wish I had the patience to clean my 3000 as good as this!
Just sinking those metal parts into rust remover for a few hours should do wonders?
I didn't quite catch what you mentioned for cleaning the motherboard. A nonconductive automotive product of some sort?
I've seen some rust converter sprays on the shelf in stores and wondered how they'd do on something like this to help prevent further rusting. Have you ever tried one of these sprays?
Tetrahydroethalene a non conductive motor parts cleaner from CRC. Red can with white shield/ black lettering not a rust converter. Like a non oily non conductive live electrical parts cleaner
Solder sucking is sooo much fun LOL!
Until you have to do 370 for ram soxkets
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration referring to field memory?
@@novastb2 no, simms on a upcoming A4000 repair. did it manually with a new silicon top enlarger pump... youll see lol
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration cool I have the Chinese YITIUA 948 but wished Weller in US would build one :(
@@novastb2 if you want to spend 400$ you can get a Hakko FR301 which is great, but super expensive and the chinesium ones do the same exact thing, and even use Hakko tips
"Ya mum! *moan*" Hi Mona!
What do you put in the ultrasonic cleaner when you do the de-rust operation?
distilled water and ultrasaonic cleaner or whatever i have avail , like simplegreen or whatever
Oh the horror, how could that A3000 have been treated so bad.
But wait theres more….
If the floppy gets junked, could I have the eject button if no longer required?
You can 3d print them . And you will have to stay tuned. Its a surprising series that turns out awesome
@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration I have printed a few (in white) but can't find colour matched PLA here in the UK. The Jesse PLA you use doesn't ship to the UK 😞
Prusa just bought printed solid. So they do now!
Great video Chris, what type of cleaning solution did you use in your ultrasonic cleaner? I'm assuming you're using more than just water.
Simple green or whatever is lying around. I think i used lavender carpet cleaner on this one… lol
😆😆 Does it run Windows 3.11? Anyway it's always fun and somewhat happy to see something interesting resurrected!!
What? AmigaOS3.2 now
@Darko Deacon why degrade it?
You know it’s a different processor with a different code language and this was the 1980s to 1990s I think they did a good job for the time
@Darko Deacon That's silly. the whole point of Amiga was to be different and not just another boring x86 clone. the 500,600,1200 were cut down neutered machines that couldn't even take a gfx card or anything back in the day-stuck with slow 2
@Darko Deacon so the question is why do you even have or use Amiga if you don't appreciate them for what they are or want to use them? You could just use your Acorn s3000? Amiga coders are in way less supply than say windows coders,these comparisons don't make sense. Most software for Amiga is made by individuals or tiny teams,not giant teams like Windows etc.Use the machine for what it was good for,dont expect a 40 year old machine to work like a modern day one. Everything runs its course.
This video should come with a trigger warning.
There are worse ones to come….
Please use your tripod! Great repair but I'm geting sea sick watching you move the camera everywhere...
I do i had to freehand to get close up some times. Chill out … im not Spielberg
