a new Commodore Amiga A500++ in 2024

final Assembly video of my A500++
I bought the bare purple board in August 2022 then aquired a non repairable A500+ (varta clock battery leakage had eaten many traces and sockets) = ideal donor candidate. An enjoyable build with a very satisfying product at the end.

*built to my requirements
*Tindie A500++ purple board
*Mouser and ebay new parts except for ECS chip set, some connectors, clock IC + crystal and pot, ceramic 68K CPU with unnecessary Heatsink to trigger the critics, floppy drive and a few other reused parts.
*New Purple keyboard PCB with new caps, transistors and resistors. Re used the other bits from donor.
*SinteckUK keyboard membrane
*A1200 .net keycaps
* Wayne Joyce painted A500+ case to a unique 'one of a kind' colour. Cheers mate, looks luscious.
*original lower RF shield chopped down to just the rear connector plate.
*A500++ badge from badgeman
*Meanwell PSU refurb.
*Amiga A500++ bucket list box ticked
