For the Rev 2:
Upgrade the EPROMS & power supply-- transfer the operating system to 2716 EPROMS, eliminating the need for -5 and +12 supplies. Improved heatsinking of regulators. This results in a more reliable power supply with less chance of lockup.
$60 parts and labor.
RAM Replacement for Rev 2 & Rev 3.0 -- the Rev 2 & 3.0 use eight 6508 RAM ICs for patch memory. These are increasingly hard to find, and expensive ($15 each).
