Hi - getting a Platinum is very near the top of my list. Some kind of trade could definitely be done, did you want an Atari 400? I have a Mac-Con pass-through PDS ethernet card for SE30. Sony VAIOs, PCG21212W (small, cute, white) and PCG-8M1P (Pentium 4, huge). Ans money of course!
You can buy NuBus connectors - DIN 41612 is what they go by on electronics distributors like Digikey and they are usually in stock, still in use in many systems.
I originally bought a 3D printer to solve the problem of positioning a replacement keyboard inside an Amiga 1200, but these days I do more printing and designing than vintage computing. It's a lot of fun!
I did a similar thing for the also-unobtainable DB23: https://aeberbach.github.io/posts/2021-08-26-amiga-db23/

I can probably dig up the Solidworks source files if anyone wants them.
I found the biggest problem...
Yes Apple labelled the 1.5GHz as 1.42GHz (at least the one I had, which did have the 64MB VRAM) - officially the 1.5GHz didn't exist. You can look up the serial number.
I've experienced 240V mains a few times, it's never something you want to repeat. But this has been on a wooden floor, wearing shoes, one-handed. There's no calculating how bad it will be @smrieck511 - the consequences can depend on your personal conductivity and vulnerability, the path from the...
Probably the Radius Rocket was faster, yes, but available when the IIfx launched? How much later did the first Amiga 040 appear? There's probably a youtube video about exactly who had the lead in the race to Mac faster in the 90s.
At the time of the IIfx... the fastest Mac you could get was an Amiga 68030 @50MHz running a Mac emulator, and it worked out far cheaper then the real Mac too. 68k Macs were great for many reasons but demo capabilities were definitely not one.
Beautiful job, I would not have picked that the color was not quite perfect. Is there a video or blog illustrating that JB Weld technique for old case repair?
