The bodges are factory work, on all motherboards afaik.

I absolutely adore this era of PCB design. Just beginning to get the mass production of PCBs down so the density is low and everything is human serviceable without a damn microscope.

I love the wrinkled foil on the backside.

Also look at the colors of the resistors.
