In this video I try vapour brighting for the first time, on an A1200 with a very special history for the local community.
I use 12% Hydrogen Peroxide in the base of a large container, with the computer parts being supported away from the liquid, allowing the vapours to do the work.
The video re fixing A1200 FDDs mentioned, by Glenn / CRG can be found here:

Parts I've purchased were from https://www.retrokit.com.au/ (no affiliation).
Board recapped and disks purchased from Marvin Droogsma of Retro 8Bit Shop retro8bitshop.com (no affiliation).
Thanks for watching.
