So, having also bought a new set of 7" long torx bits and a long T-handle after my normal rather too short bit and driver walked away, I decided to take apart my rather nice Classic and remove the battery, inspect the caps and give it a thorough dust out, after which I put it back together and gave it a well-overdue spongebath to remove all the dust and such from years in storage... meaning it is now presentable enough for a photo shoot.



Next job is to clean up the first Classic I owned (have had it for about 15 years now)  and suss out what has gone byebyes on the analogue board and anywhere else, as it hasnt worked in probably 6-7 years at least. If it is salvagable, possible recap candidate, if not, it can go back into a dark safe place until i find replacement boards.

PS: How good is the original monochrome Moire screensaver!
