I brought this Amiga 1200 from ebay, along with a monitor and a host of other items. It said it was a bit yellowed which did not bother me too much. Upon collecting the A1200 I saw how bad it was. It was very sticky, yellow and a bit smelly (Sorry fella no offence).
So! The idea of a restoration sprang to mind, along with taking some pictures and creating this guide. Please be aware that these pages are graphic heavy.
For the following recipe you will require
 |
 |
Primer x 1, White Spray x 1 and Clear Lacquer x 1 (I used two of Primer and Spray as I was also restoring some other Amiga's) |
1 x A1200 in a bad state. |
Then follow the next few pages of steps to take.
|
|
 |
 |
| Remove the 5 screws that are holding the case together. Remove the sticky feet pads also. | Turn over and open up. your A1200 will look a bit like this. Remove the keyboard by gently plucking the small white collar at the end of the ribbon cable with a small screwdriver. |
 |
 |
Take out the hard drive and unplug all the wires. (remove the ram card if you have one) |
Remove the screw from in floppy holding to the base, also the 2 screws underneath on the outside. |
