Default How to store my A1200

Hello all,

I have my beloved A1200 with a 040 accelerator on it in... a drawer!
Weather here in Sao Paulo is normally dry, so, I think that helps.

But the question is: How can I prevent the leaks???

Rgds,

Unless the accelerator has a coin battery, you don't have much to worry..

If you mean leaking of the capacitors, you should have them all replaced if you haven't already.. I redid all of mine and they should be good to go for a handful of years. Not much you can do to slow down leaking capacitors. (Things are 18+ years old!)
