This old Amstrad CPC 464 is going to take a lot of work to bring it back to life. It looks like it has been stored somewhere damp and full of insects for the past few decades.

Buying old floppy disks from eBay for my Amiga is always a gamble. So far half of them have formatted and checkdisked without any errors.

Two more computers in need of restoration. An Atari 520STFM and a 1040STFM. Apparently the 520 works and the 1040 doesn’t. Both rattle and have cracks in the cases which isn’t a good start.
