The latest additions to the family.
Commodore 64
Amiga A600HD 1MB ram, 40MB HDD
Amiga 3000 (much corrosion from a leaking battery)
VIC-1541 One of the largest floppy drives I've seen in a long time
1084s-d2 Monitor
Joysticks, keyboards and mice
Tons of software, both boxed sets and single disks
I've only managed to get the A600HD working with the monitor using the composite RCA connectors. Unfortunately, I think I'm missing the original video cables that go with these machines. Here's a few snapshots:

Is the 3000 dead? With a dead battery the system will not know the SCSI settings so it will not boot.
Not sure. There is quiet a bit of corrosion around the battery. I don't want to power up the machine until I clean up the motherboard a little bit.
Cut the battery out and boot from a workbench floppy if you can.
I've been looking for something that will dissolve or remove the corrosion without damaging the motherboard. Do you know of a good way to remove green battery corrosion stains from a motherboard?
Generally the green color is corrosion of copper traces (not a good thing).
For battery spills you need to neutralize the acid, and then clean it up.

Never had a commodore. Are they any good? :?:
If the 64 is a goner, PM me. There's one chip I want
