Dropcheck Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 This Atari 800XL has definitely seen better days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) That's the kind of hard core restoration most of us wouldn't bother with even trying unless there was a sentimental attachment or the machine was, say, a 1400XL or 1450XLD. Personally, that machine's keyboard would be salvaged, the case dumped in the trash, then the board would get a bath in 90% iso for use as a parts. Ugh.

+DrVenkman Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Have you met the 1088XEL? It’s a good reincarnated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Why yes, yes I have. This is mine, built between this past December and February. But having said that, the 800XL in the link is in terrible shape. When you're drilling into the phenolic layers to insert glue, you're going way beyond the level of effort I'm putting in to saving a pretty common model machine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Wow. Looks very cool. Which ITX case you´re using? I believe that's the Realan H80. It could be the shorter H60 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
