Hello All!
I recently bought a Tandy 1000 SX secondhand that doesn't turn on and when I opened the case I found that the motherboard has several weird mods.
I wanted to think that it was a last minute factory revision/fix, but I'm starting to think that that's not the case. I compared it with a few pictures or youtube videos I found on the web and none of them have this changes.
I wonder if I should remove all those mods and reconnect the traces that were cut off, but I really don't know what was the purpose of all that to begin with.
Does anyone has any idea what's this all about?

I'll post more pictures below...
