I am looking for Amiga smd 500 pcb.
Maybe someone has spare one, by any chance?
This is the reason for it

Wow!
I would just submerge that board in a bowl of white vinegar, then in water, dry it, then check what tracks just slip off on your fingers first!

Amazing how much damage the damn Varta's can do! Poor Paula even took a hit. Always sad to see another 8a go down. Good luck in your hunt!

I can always buy 500++ for it, but I would prefer solder SMDs than TH if I have a choice.

Hmm, that is very ugly

wonder how many traces and vias are gone ,looks like a geyser of alkaline fluid fell on the board

Same here, I am toying with the idea of building one, but none of these are open sourced, right?

This one is :
https://github.com/gazzmaniac/Amiga-SMD-500
And I am looking for one pcb of it. (I would need to order like 5 ,and don't have clue how to do it)
I believe
@PaulJ_2.0 built one (?)

Thanks... It seems to order 5 pieces it would cost around $100 USD + import fees (more if gold-plated). Has anyone already ordered one from JLCPCB and can confirm they work?
I am tempted even more now.
