Not sure if this is the place to ask, so mods feel free to move if required.

I've a collection of old computer parts that I use on a regular basis and would like to keep them in working order. I've very little experience in recapping and wouldn't want to risk breaking old hardware trying to do preventative fixes.

Is there anyone in the UK whom I could pay to recap some components such as 3x old motherboards (two for PCs, one for my Amiga A1200) and a few graphics cards/sound cards.

I also have a Philips CRT Amiga monitor and the flyback transformer recently blew, again this just needs a new one soldered in place of the old one but as per above plus I'm not comfortable working with the voltages of a CRT.

Thank you

I generally agree with Meatball, however it can't hurt to practice on something you're not attached to though. 😉 Just get a feeling for the process of soldering, after that it's all pretty easy.
