This Ace 1200 in my collection was donated by Juan Soto. The machine suffered some fairly severe jarring during transit which knocked most of the boards out of their slots and even popped several chips out of their sockets. After disassembling the machine and reseating everything that was loose the machine booted up like a champ.
