Commodore Amiga Recapping & Restoration
Keeping the Amiga alive for generations to come.
Your Commodore Amiga deserves the best possible care. Whether you own an Amiga 500, 600, 1200, 2000, 3000 or 4000, preventative maintenance is an important part of preserving these iconic machines.
I offer specialist capacitor replacement (recapping) for Commodore Amiga computers, helping to protect ageing motherboards from the damage that leaking electrolytic capacitors can cause.
Why does your Amiga need recapping?
Many Commodore Amiga models are now several decades old. Unfortunately, the electrolytic capacitors fitted during manufacture do not last forever.
Over time, capacitors can leak corrosive electrolyte onto the motherboard, potentially damaging tracks, vias and nearby components.
Even if your Amiga appears to be working perfectly, capacitor leakage can already be taking place.
A professional recap can help prevent further deterioration and preserve your machine for the future.

Protect your piece of computing history
The Commodore Amiga is more than just an old computer. For many of us, it represents an important part of computing history.
Whether it’s your original childhood Amiga or a recently acquired machine, keeping it in good condition is worth the effort.
