Finished working on yet another #Commodore #Amiga 500. This one had a broken audio jack and needed a new keyboard membrane. All fixed and now it's in perfect working order.
Not doing anything about the yellowing, as that is just a spare machine.

@derSammler@oldbytes.space Are you repairing them for others? Or a collector? Just curious if you have any pro tips on where to find them? (Besides eBay, which has extremely high prices)

@derSammler@oldbytes.space i think yellowing is the best part of old machine like this. scent of past 😭 If we want "like new" we buy new cases

@derSammler@oldbytes.space Wow. This photo reminds me that Commodore really went all in on this shape. That's so close to the B128 (probably the prettiest version) and the C128!
