Great news it still works after all these years. It will probably need a recap and this needs doing sooner rather than later. Leaking caps can destroy the motherboard. Might be worth popping the lid to check if you can see any. It is not always visible, but dull solder joints is normally a sign of leakage. Its not an expensive job to get done and is a must.

Check out the list on this website

I am in the UK and we are fortunate that there is quite a selection of good and trustworthy people who will recapp our Amigas. Cost is normally around £30-£40 including P&P. You only have to send the motherboard. It is a must to get it done as the leakage will happen and it will destroy your motherboard over time.
