Checking Out 2 Amigas after 25 Years in Storage - Are They OK? - Tidbit Tuesdays #1

I FINALLY have an Amiga again! In this video we will see what we have and if there are issues requiring restoration (Hint there is). This is the first video in a series called Tidbit Tuesdays (Unless someone comes up with a better idea!). These Amigas were donated to the channel by my old friend, Rick, and are the very ones that our users group newsletters were designed on. I realized while editing that I have actually worked on the Amiga 500 in the far past. At the very least I upgraded the Kickstart ROM for Rick back in the day!

ABOUT THIS VIDEO This is a Tidbit Tuesday video about a pair of Amigas donated to us by an old friend. The idea with Tidbit Tuesdays is to create simpler videos where a full restoration is not needed in a single day (This one took me a day and a half, far better than my usual 2-3 weeks)
