New Toy!

[JLPedro]

Well what can I say, brought this great computer at Amibay from Scrappysphinx (Great seller by the way!), and been cleaning it and repairing some parts, it's now ready for some hardware prOn!
Specs are OCS chipset, Kick 1.3, 1MB Chip Ram.

Here's what came on the box:
A500 unit (Red Power Led and Red Caps Led), 4,3A PSU, Tank mouse, RF Lead, A520 Modulator and a Spare Drive (Panasonic JU-xxx can't remember the rest :dry:), and Full 1.3 Workbench disk set.

Dispite the level of corrusion on the shield, the insulation layer protected the motherboard (Rev5_3) and it's on top shape and very clean :D

Motherboard with 512k ram expansion:
