It's been a while since I've done anything with my amigas.
I bought this poor thing online for the equivalent of $15 :
Inside there was a working 6A board with a little extra - a mikronik 6110 pc keyboard adapter (needed to be fixed but now works like a charm, in fact I even made a copy of it with the same ATMega chip).
The keyboard was completely butchered. Somebody tried to fix it and melted the membrane and damaged the controller board.
After dipping the case in various chemicals to get rid of the brushed on black paint i saw a ton of cracks and dents and also somebody even carved their name into it...
Hours of gentle grinding with different grit water sandpaper, then 3 coats of primer, sanded again with 1200 grit then finally 4 layers of white acryl base laid on :
There is no way to tell that this miggy is actually painted. The surface is smooth but feels "plastic".
I recapped the mobo, the floppy disk drive and got it a fully restored mitsumi qwerty keyboard.
It had a 512 memory expansion inside. Battery was dead and leaked acid but I managed to get the board fixed.
Another one brought back to life
