One of the machines has Commodore A500 written on the case - is this a special version?
Nope, it's just newer than the others.
There's one A500 Plus - unfortunately it's not one of the working ones.
The A500 plus has 1 MB of ram (as opposed to 512kB in the A500) kickstart v2.04 and a slightly better chipset. And as already mentioned, an onboard clock with a battery that's probably leaking.
What's usually the problem when the power light flashes and nothing else happens?

a) clean and re-insert Agnus chip
I know I've seen a larger list of 'blink-codes' somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
A couple of the machines had green power lights, most of them were red. What's the significance of the colour?
red=older ones
green=newer ones
