It hasnβt been powered up in decades. I donβt know what state itβs in.

I know too well about C64 power supplies. Went through several of them as a child in the 80s.

You're right that Amiga power supplies are generally bulletproof even 30+ years on. A1200s (and 600s & 4000s) often suffer from leaky surface mount electrolytic caps though which left untreated can cause damage to the motherboard, unfortunately. At least you don't have to worry about a leaky varta battery though, most RTC options for the 1200 used a coin cell.
