I have finally speared one of my beige whales! A IIgs!

It is in *horrific* condition.

@DosFox To me it looks as if something on top of it rusted severely and then the water from that has seeped down on to the machine. Very odd.
@aidan you might be right there
@DosFox i reckon a mix of a very damp room and water ingress from something above. glad to see the board seems to have survived though (and thank god it wasn’t the battery)
@aidan did you see the update photo :p
