Ethan's post got me a bit curious... Not only are there Amiga 3000 schematics available, they are GORGEOUS. http://www.amigawiki.de/doku.php?id=en:service:schematics Vector and the whole 9 yards! -Todd On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 1:16 PM Blatboy via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
I've successfully recapped an old Mac Classic II. Unfortunately, I really didn't have the skills and it gave me a false sense of security. I've done... a not beautiful job (understatement) on an Amiga and another Macintosh board since then. I'm about to send them in to get them professionally done. I'm sure there will be many four letter words catapulted in my general direction haha.
Just so you see what's out there: I'm sending them here, if you want to look into it: https://acill.ecwid.com/ Paul is a regular on the Amiga.org boards, and while I don't really know him, it seems his work is well respected. If you sent him hi res photos of the board, I'm sure he would tell you if he can work on it or not.
Outside of that, getting a refurbished board isn't a bad idea either and may cost near the same, depending on how much corrosion is on the board.

In other news, it's now looking like I will be there for the workshop! (I already signed up) I just received confirmation that my wife will be going out of town this weekend. I'll be bringing my 3000 (and some other things) to work on. I'm stoked.
