Repairing an Amiga 500

2 Things I've replaced, the disk drive and the top case.

It does work but a few things, the keys are yelllowed while the case is white which I have noticed bit yellow on the right hand side which suggests to me it has been retrobrighted at some point.

Another is the bottom trapdoor expansion case, I think it was already damaged but I blu-tack it to hold it, but I do recommend getting another panel if you don't want to deal with it.

What am I going to do with the 2nd amiga? One thing is for certain I don't need 2 amiga computers. I will either sell it or donate it.

Also I have an amiga 600 that I am thinking of selling.

Ok the amiga that im giving away has been decided.

I will give the amiga to one of the users here in EAB, they asked for it to be wrapped up so it doesn't get damaged during transit, but I do have an amiga 600 that I am considering selling.
