    Acorn Archimedes A3010. Restoration complete.

    Battery leak damage took out 10 tracks on the PCB including 5 that go under the floppy drive header and connect the pins to pull-up resistors.

    I repaired the accessible tracks, rerouted the pull-up tracks and added a couple of wires at the old battery location so I, or the next owner, can put a battery holder in a sensible location and won't need to dismantle the entire machine if it's going to be stored for a long time. Floppy heads also cleaned.

    Acorn Archimedes A3010 with original mouse to the right of the keyboard. The start screen for the game Lemmings is on the monitor. The original box for the computer is to the right and the Action Pack, containing Zork, Starwriter, game demos and assorted other extras is to the left.
    Lemmings, level one.
