Looking at the photos, I think it unlikely that anyone apart from somebody super dedicated would be able to take it on as a repair, and even then the odds against it working again are high.
It isn't really even worth anything for parts due to the poor condition.
I'd offer it up for free, just have the recipient cover postage fees.
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..

Thanks :)

Re: Worth of an SST Board after cleanup?
I removed and replaced the two GALs and the two PALs on the board. Looks like they're in good shape. I'm not sure what the chip with the label is next to the smaller 68881 socket.
@czietz, yes, same board. I couldn't see what the forum message said on the atari-home.de site. I had to ask after getting it cleaned up and pulling the chips.
I'll add it to the e-waste pile, joining the Mega ST4, if no one wants it. Postage to the UK from the US will be high.
Thanks for everyone's additional input.

I agree that you should donate it to someone who can perhaps fix or reverse engineer it. It would be a positive contribution to the community.

Re: Worth of an SST Board after cleanup?
heh... OK... It's rescued from the e-waste pile.
Does anyone want it?
