Now here's a blast from the past...
This is the *first ever* computer (or anything) that I recapped. I chose it from the two A500s I picked up back in early 2020, because it was in a bit of a state (the other one was better) and I needed practice before I touched anything else.
All I had was a suction pump and a $30 soldering iron. And oh wow, did I make a bit of a mess of it!
(I also later stole some parts from it for my second A1200 ReAmiga)
Long overdue to restore this poor thing!
