I've dusted it off and powered it on this weekend. It still works (RTC

You may want to have a close look at the electrolytic capacitors.
A few months ago I had to repair some of the damage done by
a leaking capacitor. Fortunately I don't need the signals on the
parallel port, but I do use the serial console, and thus had to fix
the eaten RXD trace.
In the worst case, you can just buy a new A1200 board off eBay for 70 Euros:

Just involves some soldering but people are building new A1200s successfully:
