The insides of my Amiga A1200 looked worse when I got it. Should work fine once you clean the contacts on the cartridge slot.

Going to get all the peripherals to upgrade it to the full Coleco Adam? ;-)

From the chip dates it looks like it was manufactured in the last third of 1983.

Hadn't looked at dates yet, but I will later.

The newest I saw in your pictures was the 31st week of 1983.

Just had a look and that was the latest I could see too.

Lucky lucky, this thing has 4116 RAM in it...

All cleaned up nice bar the RF shield which I need to do later in the garage, don't want rust particles all over the workshop!

So, I found a USB PSU here: ColUSB so I have one on order and in the meantime I'll see if I can get things moving with an ATX PSU.

Nice find !

How annoying. I just pulled an ATX PSU from a spare machine and it doesn't have -5v :mad:

Time to pull the other PSU from the other spare machine...
