Me too, although whilst it’s in bits I may take the opportunity to socket more of the chips. I’ve decided I’ll remove the RF shield and then put heat sinks on all the chips instead.

These arrived very unexpectedly yesterday which was a nice surprise. I wasn’t expecting them till way after Christmas.

If you're interested in parting with one of the C128 boards I'd be interested :)

I do have 5 of them, so yes. I'll work out how much they cost to get here, probably around £25 plus postage each.

Also forgot to say that my raspberry pi 5 arrived at the same time. Although right at this moment in time I've no plans to what to do with it as I wasn't expecting it for a month or so yet. maybe I'll replace the Pi4 in the arcade machine with the 5?
