All you Amiga heads watch out for those motherboard

the A3000! A3000s are probably going to be very rare due to all the
destroyed motherboards (Someone should reproduce one with sockets for the
original chips.)
I have several motherboards in various states - many functional, one
or two are probably total losses and will become parts donors.
I also lost an A4000 to a leaky Varta battery - I thought I'd removed
it. I was sadly wrong. I think it's repairable. The deconstruction
is almost complete, then the cleaning and reconstruction can begin.
And yet another one is a Commodore Colt - it _may_ be repairable, but
I'm going to get some practice on a simpler repair first.
Those 90s NiCd batteries have destroyed a lot of hardware.
