So I take all of the working ones are Micropolis, like:

Out of those, probably non-working ones, which I had relatively easy access to, namely three units I was able to access without breaking too much on the way, after unpacking two look like:

Do you mean like this:

?

If yes and your heartbeat rate rose - then the only problem is that this is a 2031 rather than 8050/8250... :-(

There is still some - I don’t know - maybe 10 to 15 units in various stages of disfigurement but I can’t promise that I’ll be able to get closer to them soon. Shall try and see maybe tomorrow if this can be made feasible.
