I’ve been restoring a RM380 I picked up not long ago and it’s been good news and bad news.
All the cards are in wonderful condition and the case is presentable however the two BASF
6106 floppy drives are highly corroded and probably won’t work again but this isn’t what
I’m wondering, the original supply is a little rough but looks tone perfectly restorable
with the exception of the key lock been stuck (problem to solve later) and I can get all
the parts needed to replace the three filters but it is a 70s linear supply and if my
s-100 experience has told me anything they might not be the most reliable. What would you
all recommend restoring it and keeping it original or fitting some modern SMPS in its
place. It is a low serial number as well (691) but saying I want it to be reliable I’m
torn.
