Hi,

Just opened my Macintosh Plus to give it a quick check-over, to make sure that no components have blatantly malfunctioned. Generally, it looks okay on the interior:

There is a bit of oxidation on the metal chassis, as visible here. Luckily, no components seem to be affected.

And capacitor C1 (the Capacitor That Often Dies) has been replaced some time in the past:

So I won't run into problems on the C1 front for a while.

What does a C1 failure result in, anyway?
