Jim,
Thanks for posting this.
I think $80 for an untested A500 without power supply is expensive.
Plus, once you factor in shipping, you could be dealing with a $100
brick. Or you could end up with a partially working, but a couple fried
CIA chips.
It might be right at half that price, maybe.

Or worse still if it's got a RTC the battery may have leaked and damaged
the logic board.

Agreed.

The RTC battery is on the memory expansion module. They still leak
and damage the board, but it's not the main board, it's a replaceable
board.

That depends if it's a 500 or a 500+, the 500+ had it on the main logic board and are
well known for battery leakage damage. The first thing you should EVER do with a 500+ is
pull the lid of and clip out the battery if it's still the original one, regardless of
wether it's leaked. If it hasn't it will.

I always says it here...I can pay shipping :o) Mostly UK items are VERY
rare (or expensive) in Brazil. I'm still after a sinclair Spectrum (and
better if a +2 or +3 :oD)

Clearly. I have an easier time finding PDP-8s than I do Amigas. Not
kidding. All I want is an original 1000 like I had eons ago, and about
six have slipped through my fingers over the years. Too weird.

I can probably hook you up with a base A1000, but I don't have a lot
of 100% working keyboards or mice.
