Had an intact warranty seal and a protective film on the Atari badge when purchased.
Restauration Works
Cleaned the case and keyboard.
Original PSU (Mitsumi SR98) replaced with MeanWell RD-35A. New mains wires from switch to PSU. New ground wire from case to PSU.
Replaced all electrolytic capacitors with Vishay and Panasonic ones. One bi-polar axial cap was replaced with a radial one because I couldn’t find an axial replacement.
Added four sockets for the ROM area.
Opened holes to solder in a socket for a Blitter chip.
Replaced original floppy disk with GOEX disk drive emulator.
Known Issues
PLCC socket for the blitter needs to be soldered in. Maybe I will also add a Blitter chip if I should find a cheap one.
History
2022-07-16
Replaced power cable. It is soldered to the mainboard. Unfortunately I damaged one pad while preparing the board for the new cable.
Fixed the OLED display to the case top. The ribbon cable is hot-glued inside, so it will sit tight.
Plugged an USBee to the expansion connector.
Restauration is now completed.
