Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!
i’m not surprised to find it has a fault, but i am a little surprised by the failure mode. indicator blinking is not mentioned in troubleshooting documentation. the lamp is on its own tap on a secondary of the power transformer, so this is pretty weird.

unfortunately the included crystal is for TV, not 10.7mhz for FM.
