I called Mark with a description of what my 1200 was doing and Mark very quickly knew what the problem was likely to be and said it was a common fault and not difficult to fix. I felt very much at ease talking to Mark who was obviously very skilled in what he does. Once my Amiga was delivered to Mark he confirmed he would get on with repairs quickly and keep in touch which was exactly what happened. Great communication from Mark followed after he found other minor issues which were again fixed. I am very pleased with the service I received and how I was informed at all stages throughout the repair including a short video showing a diagnostic check. I can certainly recommend Mark as he isn’t just an expert in his field but a helpful and easy person to discuss repairs with.

05 February 2025 A1200 REPAIR AND RE-CAP
I had Mark look over an aging Amiga 1200 motherboard for me. He give it the works and repaired an issue with one of the op amps that I wasn’t even aware off. He also re-capped as requested with polymer caps to ensure a longer life span.
I found Mark super helpful and friendly and also very informative. He also made my job priority due to delays caused by unforeseen weather circumstances. He didn’t need to do that but went above and beyond for me that is someone I would be happy to pay for their services again. I thought his communication was also brilliant, and trust me you want to know what is going with your beloved hardware when it is sent off somewhere for repair so this is appreciated. I will be a returning customer for sure.

It was a pleasure sorting out your Amiga 1200 Gerry – and thank you for your very kind words. I look forward to helping you out in the future!

Absolutely fantastic service! I sent my A1200 in for a polymer recap, and Mark kept me up to date throughout.
Fast turnaround, amazing communications, and even a video showing the diagnostic test afterwards.
Mark is extremely knowledgeable, and gave great advice regarding timing fixes specific to my board revision. He’s even moved the clockport header pins (I was one of the lucky ones where the factory put them in the wrong position).
Highly recommended!

I can’t praise this company and Mark who fix my machine enough. The polymer caps used on the motherboard have given it a new lease of life. Great fast turnaround and brilliant communications, get me informed all the way. Thanks again! A++ service.

i sent my amiga 500 to rude dog retros to be serviced, as well as for a keyboard repair as several keys no longer worked.
before any work commenced, mark let me know exactly what work needed to be done (which included photos), and how much it would cost.
when the work was completed, mark provided more photos of the completed work, plus a very in depth test video of the amiga running.
from start to finish, mark’s communication has been excellent. the photos and video that mark provided gave me confidence that the work has been done to a high standard.
i would highly recommend rude dog retros for any retro servicing or repairs.
i have now been enjoying playing on my amiga once again, and showing my kids some of the games i used to play on it.
thank you mark.

Hi Steven,
It was a real pleasure to bring your A500 back for you. It’s really nice to see that you’re getting a new generation involved in Amiga again 🙂
Grant –
From initial diagnosis to work completion I simply cannot fault Mark. His communication is fantastic and the fuss free work he has done to bring my A600 back to life is second to none. I wish I had the skills to do what he does but the only thing I share in this respect is a genuine passion for all stuff 8 bit.
Cannot wait to use his services again and I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Amazing company no question about it. Mark is just brilliant person and very passionate about retro machines . He called me straight away asking everything what’s wrong with my Amiga 1200 and told me what he need to do to fix it . He was extremely patient explaining every detail and also Amiga history and faulty parts which was very interesting. Through whole process Mark was writing to me as he found another faulty part which should be replaced so I felt very informed in every stage of servicing process. I’m so happy that I found place like this to repair my retro machines with so amazing service. Your retro computers are in safe hands for sure. Thanks again to Rude dog retros and especially Mark for repairing my A1200.

500+ with multiple faults fixed rapidly and at a good price and speedy service by Rude Dog. I had managed to break the A500+ to black screen of death and was out of my depth/time to repair. Rude Dog gave me a full list of the issues and prices to fix them before work commenced. Work was done super quick and I had the A500+ back in working state. Work is very nice and tidy with a high quality of soldering. I was kept updated through the process as well. Very happy customer.
