On to the scary Varta battery topic: here are the iPhone shots of the back of the board behind the three battery pins and the negative and positive sides of the battery topside.

First off - there's no immediately obvious horror show, so whatever damage there might be is, I hope, immaterial at best and slight at worst. The board is definitely not the nightmare it could have been 32+ years on from when it was made.

Opinions invited!

More detailed shots to follow.
