A chap I met at the tip saved this Amiga 1200 from getting recycled

I met a lovely chap who works for our local council tip the other day when I was scrapping some old wood. We got chatting and it turns out he managed to save an Amiga 1200 from the electronics bin a few weeks ago. We tried it out and it still seems to work - it even attempts to boot onto the original HDD. Next step is to clean it up and recap it.

Big rubbish bin in the ground.

I'm so sorry, but once you lose block 28389 you are toast.
Feel free to DM for US shipping address.

Good rescue! The 1200 is a fairly rare computer and it would've been a shame if it got recycled.
