Hi guys - just heard about this project. I'd love a remade Rejuvinator board, but how much are they assembled?
Thanks
Steve
It would vary depending on what parts you already have on hand, namely, the memory and Agnus. Sourcing the 1MX4 RAMs in DIP format is next to impossible, and, when found, very expensive. Finding an 8372B A3000 Agnus is going to be pricey, too, if not impossible. There's an adapter that can be built that will allow you to use an A500+ Agnus in an A3000. This adapter is needed for the Rejuvenator as well for a 2MB variant in which you substitute the A500+ 2MB Agnus. Having someone build you one of those adapters will add price to the cost, because they are a very tight, difficult solder. Also, if you want 2 MB of RAM, you can use SMD 1Mx4 RAMs, soldered onto a DIP socket adapter board. The J-lead chips are a pain in the rear to solder as well, so, expect that to increase the cost to you as well. To give you a rough idea of parts cost alone, not counting the Agnus, I spent about $200 or so. It takes time to assemble, so, that too will add to the cost. There is a guy on Amibay selling ones he builds for roughly $415 plus shipping (from Europe, so most likely quite pricey to the US at this point, especially if you ship it with a reputable company that offers insurance and tracking versus regular postal service).
