The picture does not do justice to how dusty this 500 is. It is serial number 005098 with a rev 5 mobo, and the date codes on the chips are early to late 87. I broke the security seal to remove the case and when the top came off dust nuggets came out. Works perfect still minus the keyboard having dead keys due to the shit membranes they put in these. It has a 1986 chinon floppy that is 10x louder than the following years revisions. Thing makes the computer rattle on the desk when it loads, love it.

I do actually have the floppy drive sound emulated on my FS-UAE system.
Fucking love it.
