Original project by SukkoPera:

The minimum order quantity for these from the PCB factory is 5 pieces, I wanted one in purple so I ended up with a few extra boards.
I'm only giving away 1 of them, pretty much at cost, unfortunately due to the large size they're not cheap to manufacture and due to weight restrictions I had to pick a pretty expensive shipping option to get them from China.
If you want to build your own Amiga 500 and you only need 1 bare PCB, and you like purple... this is a pretty nice board
In case you want it for display purposes note that the board doesn't have an ENIG/gold finish. It's still nice to look at, it looks pretty much like the original except the edge connector.
I actually want to populate mine and for practical purposes after soldering there's no difference since the joints will have a silver color anyway, the only minor difference from the original is the edge connector, on the original A500 boards it's the only spot with a gold finish. I have other boards with edge connectors using the same solder finish and in my experience they just get dirty over time if used a lot, but they don't wear out easily.
Price: 30€ + shipping
I don't ship to the US because I don't know exactly what's up with the new tariffs and I don't want the package to get stuck in customs
