Hi guys,
it's my first post here and I need advice.
I want to get back into Amiga after a few years absence. I would like to buy a big box Amiga, since I've never had one before, probably A4000, because of AGA. I've been lurking on EBay for a few weeks now and among others I saw one guy selling A4000/030 - he states in the description that audio doesn't work, because caps probably need replacing. I asked him if the caps have leaked and he sent me a closeup photo, which shows that they definitely have. I'm no expert and don't know if that is a serious issue (the board doesn't seem in very good condition overall) or if maybe good cleaning and, of course, new caps would be enough to get it up and running again.
Can you have a look at the picture and tell me what's your opinion? Also, what an A4000/030 in this condition might be worth?

Thanks a lot.
Edit: with the exception of audio the Amiga supposedly works (there is also a picture in the listing documenting that).
I have seen the auction myself and it certainly seems an easy (ish) fix. I would go for it due to a fault that many may steer away from but can be fixed quite cost effectivly and to replace the caps with non leakable ones would be a fine idea if I have my say.
