Wanted: 520ST(M) board

[russellnash]

I have a very beautiful and empty short 520ST case. It would be nice to be able to restore it to a working ST some time. Maybe someone has a 520 ST(M) board they would like to get rid of? A board that is broadly speaking working, but where the socketed chips have been salvaged, for example, would be fine. No rush, the time scale is irrelevant. I am in Bulgaria.

I have three bad boards. The PCB´s are 0k I think but all need a lot of work. Can you solder and rework such a board? There are no keyboards ...

It would depend on the nature of the problem but "all need a lot of work" sounds first of all like it might be beyond me. I am more on the level of I can do it if its not too complicated".

There are three boards. That in the middle works. There is still a fourth one as a parts carrier. With a lot of work and a little love you can get them back to work. I don't have any keyboard or romport sockets. EU DHL postage are 18.00 euros.

But without skills in electronics, it makes no sense ...!

The middle board has a loose contact, when it runs it works. It works sometimes and sometimes not. So the Chip set is ok. It had a German tos 1.04 which I need myself and take it.

Hi Frank, thanks for showing an interest. Runs sometimes doesn't sound too bad. I have skills in electronics, it's just that they are limited. :D Ohne TOS ist doch kein problem. How much would you want for it?

[frank.lukas]

You can have all four boards for postage plus packaging for 20 euros EU postage.

I would just like something for the ST chip set, 20 euros I think ...

[russellnash]

OK, Frank, I will PM you.

Update: Frank sent me his board and it now works fine so I am no longer looking for a 520ST board. Thanks.
