I’ve been restoring a RM380 I picked up not long ago and it’s been good news
and bad news. All the cards are in wonderful condition and the case is
presentable however the two BASF 6106 floppy drives are highly corroded and
probably won’t work again but this isn’t what I’m wondering, the original
supply is a little rough but looks tone perfectly restorable with the exception
of the key lock been stuck (problem to solve later) and I can get all the parts
needed to replace the three filters but it is a 70s linear supply and if my
s-100 experience has told me anything they might not be the most reliable. What
would you all recommend restoring it and keeping it original or fitting some
modern SMPS in its place. It is a low serial number as well (691) but saying I
want it to be reliable I’m torn.
