USED HARDWARE MARKETS
EAB Marketplace
eab.abime.net  /  FORUM CLASSIFIEDS

The English Amiga Board's buy/sell section. Community-vetted sellers, longstanding reputation. Good for less common hardware and rare peripherals that don't turn up on Amibay.

eBay
ebay.com / .co.uk  /  USE WITH CAUTION
CAVEAT

Large stock, but buyer beware: many listings describe hardware as "untested" or "powers on" without screen output. Check seller feedback carefully. Excellent for cables, cases, and peripherals. Less reliable for motherboards unless from known community sellers.

RECAPPING & MAINTENANCE
NEXUS:1/hardware/maint> ALERT: CAPACITOR LEAKAGE
β€” Most A500/600/1200 machines are now 30-40 years old.
β€” Electrolytic capacitors fail over time, leaking corrosive fluid.
β€” Symptoms: distorted audio, screen flicker, random crashes, failure to boot.

NEXUS:1/hardware/maint> RECOMMENDED ACTION
β€” Recap ALL boards before sustained use. Non-negotiable on A600/A1200.
β€” Use SMD tantalum or Panasonic FR-series electrolytics.
β€” Resources: AmigaKit sells recap kits. EAB has model-specific cap lists.
