New Toy!
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
), and Full 1.3 Workbench disk set.

PSU, 4.3A Heavy Unit:

Now the scary part... Lower Shield corrusion
:

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 
Motherboard with 512k ram expansion:

Top shield in perfect condition:

Here's the lower shield repaird, rust totaly removed and polished, painted with anti corrusion paint:


Fully assembled and fully working:


All plastics took a nice clean, keyboard keys went to the washer
.
For finish some RetrObrite experience:

Buyed an RGB to Scart + audio Lead, image and sound are perfect
.
Planning to use retrObrite on the hole case and fully restore this great machine to it's glory days!! Thanks Scrappysphinx!
