Collecting tomorrow.
Wow scraps, you're all set for some serious soldering with that setup :thumbsup:
@Sardine
As Roy says, that leakage is very serious. The problem you might have is after removing all the damage there might not be much left of the pads that chip is soldered to.
Fingers crossed it isn't as bad as it looks.

its so nice to have a tiny tip when you need it and be able to switch to a great big clod hopper the size of your thumb when you need that lol.
the hot air station may see more use than you expected. i know mine did :thumbsup:
@sardine
having had another closer look at the pics,if i was you i would not power that machine up with the apollo in there.
going by the pics the leakage goes all the way to the mach 131,thats very bad mate.
im sorry i posted twice,its just i had to have another look:)
ye i know..
guy had it in his loft for 10 yrs...
ive not tried to power the tower..
i tried the 1260 once in my 1200, black screen,not done anything with it yet , ive bought lemon juice, ipa etc but i dont think i want to tackle it or try remove mach 131 as green on those pins also.
personal life atm throwing me curves my intention depending on what happens is to send it off to someone here for repair. i also want to send my 1240 which is working 100% but the battery on that also showing signs but no green yet.
Sneeker just dropped off two non-working C64 breadbins for free!
Hopefully I can make at least one of them working again!
And Im at home with my new C64 that is currently loading Bounder off tape..
First Time ive loaded anything off tape, and it will be the first time I've played bounder in 20+ years as I remember playing it on a mates spectrum, on a bloack and white tv, in the late 80's :o
I can sort them both for you if you wish kevin.Quote:
