Got some ls74s
Some good pots

Guess that big tosh is a processor of some sort

I hope you have a desoldering gun? I spy a DAC in there. Dunno if it's the same type used in vector games, though.

After I started to remove more chips at the start of fixing PCBs I just had a desoldering pump and an iron but that wasn't very good so a good upgrade was one of those cheap ebay things that's a desoldering pump inside of a soldering iron.


That improved my desoldering a lot but upgraded to a proper desoldering gun later.
