Continuation from this dumpster find thread post. To my surprise, PCB looks OKAY, no rotten traces, pads or vias, but most of the soldering alloy, used on it, had rotten off, taking with itself some passive SMD components. All of the resistor packs were also heavily corroded as its legs were made from iron... Some of them fell off just by touching them. Main chip is held only by one pin row, it's possible to lift it up now, though badly corroded, all legs seems to be rigid. Cache chips are legit, made by UMC (UM61256FK-15), CPU did not fare well at all 😢
In conclusion, it's restorable, but to do that, motherboard needs to be stripped off of every component on it, cleaned of corrosion and reassembled.
