Amiga 1000 - Restore video or not?
Added 2021-12-14 03:43:15 +0000 UTCI'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row for this Amiga documentary. I have a stock Amiga 1000 that was donated to me which will be a significant part of the documentary since that's where it all started. But it's super dirty and yellowed. I need to restore/retrobrite it.
I'm sort of stuck in the analysis paralysis over whether to do the restoration behind the scenes, which will take 3-5 days, or do a restoration episode on it which will take 2 weeks to film and edit. If I do the video, sure you get an extra video but it does mean waiting that much longer for the Amiga documentary that everyone has been screaming for. So, I'm going to put it to the vote!
Similarly, I have an Amiga 1200 that is in similar shape that needs restoration. But it's not as critical to the documentary as the 1000 is. I also have 3 Amiga 500s, all of which need restoration. But I don't need any of those for the documentary because I can borrow my brother's 500 that is in perfect shape. So, for the moment, vote on the A1000. But then also tell me in the comments if you'd like to see restorations on these other two Amigas before the documentary.

Do a restauration ... the 1000 was the start of the unique success of the Amiga. It's worth to take a deeper look into ... and watching an "old car" is not as interesting as watching the restoration. ;)

2021-12-19 07:44:34 +0000 UTCYou're asking the question to an echo chamber here. Quite a lot of us are here because we enjoy your restoration videos, so I'm not surprised by the poll result. I'm looking forward to both the restoration and history videos. Keep up the good work!

2021-12-18 17:57:39 +0000 UTCDo it! I owned both Amiga 500 and 1200 as a kid, the later got moved into after-market tower case and got 68040 acceleration board.

2021-12-18 08:09:23 +0000 UTCI am more than happy to wait an extra few weeks for the a documentary if it means the computer in question looks beautiful.
2021-12-17 18:40:23 +0000 UTCI always wanted to own a Commodore and Amiga but never had the chance. This would be great to watch. I'm a child from the Coleco Adam generation LOL
2021-12-16 15:46:14 +0000 UTCLove your restoration videos!

2021-12-15 23:13:16 +0000 UTCI’m good either way. I guess it depends on how soon you think the Amiga video will be. If not very soon, then doing the restoration is a good stop gap video.
