I now have three fully operational Pluses

I was thinking of selling the one I just repaired, though.

So you are using the analog board out of the one I sent you? If so very impressive! I thought out of all of the components in that computer, the analog board would be the 1 thing that would not be salvageable at all.

Yes, I am. I looked at it, and it seemed that it was essentially intact (and I checked a few traces which *looked* damaged to make certain, and they checked out OK), so I took a leap of faith and figured I'd try replacing a few components which seemed particularly damaged looking and see what would happen. I also figured that since the worst that could happen is nothing at all, I thought I had little to lose (also, it seemed that, since it *was* bonging, the circuitry was essentially OK, and that something minor was interfering somehow.)
As for the rest of your Plus, I used the rear case for mine (since it seemed to be slightly less yellow, although now it doesn't match the front :/ ), set aside the logic board, and I will remove the CRT and drive bracket. The chassis seems to have taken the brunt of whatever it was which damaged the analog board, so I'm reluctant to use it for anything until I wire brush the rust off and paint it with a rust inhibiting paint. It's otherwise intact, and I do intend to keep it.

Did you get it with a keyboard/mouse? I don't remember...

I'd like to find a cheap set for it somewhere, so it will be complete.
