An Atari ST nerd tries to salvage an Amiga 500. Part 1.

What on Earth have I done?
I've only got an bought a dirty, filthy Amiga. Literally dirty and filthy, actually. It's a 'loft find'. How does it look? Can I make it work or has it suffered Vartacite?
Well, to do that I'll need to power it up so the first task (after a good disinfectant bath) will be to build a power lead.
How did things go for this Atari ST nerd entering the dangerous world of Commodore?
