hey, no leaking capacitors: it's as good as new.
Looks true. Guy was lucky that the thing was still running, and he cleaned it up. Doesn't look fake at all. Last edited by jotd; 22 October 2018 at 21:41. |

Ya boo sucks to that C64! Now this Atari looks like it's been run over by a bus, yet it still came back to life after extensive reconstruction! |

I watched your videos, and you seem to be the restoration MASTER. It's been a few months, but I was wondering if you still needed the beige keys. LMK by PM on here or email amigadon1@hotmail.com. I have some lying around not doing anything useful.
