Not really much time these last days to do something, but I managed to squeeze some precious minutes to take care of my newcomer.
The Tandy was first cleaned, but since it was in a pristine condition, there was no much work here.

The most annoying was cleaning the gooey residue left after the rubber feet went missing.

I will surely clean the keyboard a bit more, but I'm not in a hurry now.
I removed the RAM and DMA expansion and filled the empty sockets with DRAM chips, so now I have an unbelievable amount of 640
KB (Thanks
@Steve !) RAM.

Next steps are:
- Replace the missing rubber feet
- Replace the Intel 8088 with a NEC V20
- Change the 360 KB 5,25" FDD for a 720 KB 3,5" one
- Fit a VGA board
- Add an XT CF-IDE
- Install an RTC
and check if this lovely mouse works:

Hopefully, I should have some time during my 2 weeks break starting at the end of the month.
Some parts are already waiting for install, so fingers crossed for the rest of them.
