Photo description: my newly restored Galeb, serial number and all

Cannot attach a photo here yet, so here is a careful description. Galeb, cream-coloured plastic case with a slightly yellowed lid, rubbery keys that finally don't stick. Serial plate on the back, two screws missing which I replaced with slightly different screws, I'm ashamed. Inside: a Z80-family CPU, the board labelled by hand in blue ink by whoever assembled it. A small burn mark near the power regulator, repaired by me with new capacitors.

It boots to the old BASIC prompt in under three seconds. I typed PRINT "YU" and it printed YU. I sat in silence for a while.

If someone knows the exact production batch from the board markings, please tell me.

Hand-labelled boards are so lovely. Mine has a signature of the inspector in pencil. Can you read the marking near the ROM socket? Batches often differ there.

@galeb_86 it reads something like R-4 and a date stamp, but I can't be sure. Will try a flashlight at an angle.

Can you dump the ROM? A hash would let us compare with other machines and it would make a nice entry in the collectors' archive.

Does it still load from tape? If the output level is low, check the capacitor in the audio stage first. Mine drifted over decades.

Tell me, did it make that little beep? I remember the beep.

@baka_dragica yes, the little beep, and I nearly cried.
