New arrivals.

2 new arrivals from some ones shed, with added spiders today, a rev6a and a 1040STF. Both pretty crusty with the lid off

But not too bad once opened up.

What do ya rekon just see if they will fire up? Caps look ok!

Nice to see it's a rev6A A500 with a "downgraded" A500+ board and a fat agnus, this could be a project to give to a mate next year for his 50th!

No idea what to do with the ST, I've never been near one, I may douse it in petrol and slo-mo film it's incineration.

Or maybe I could rehouse the Amiga in the ST case for a FrankenmigaST - best of both!

This is just a regular A500 board. The downgraded A500+ board is Rev 8 and will also have the A500+ legend in the center of the board.

Nice find in any case, the rev 6 board is a very solid base.

Probably the best thing to do!

Absolutely not.... - Definitely "Burn" it!

Joking aside, I'm sure some Atari Fanboi will buy it on eBay even if it's dead or alive!
