IT LIVES!
I am mega ecstatic-- and surprised. I started it cold after hairdryer'ing the motherboard to bone dry status and then some after a 2hr wash in the dishwasher.
Here's the video I made afterwards of the first start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF-CZAmWHXg
I'm far from done with this thing though. the plastics are still all dirty and the metal too; I need to figure where I put that simple green bottle I know has been hiding in the back of a cabinet.
Hard drive is very healthy-sounding with the normal amount of whine you'd expect (a bit quieter than I expected, though) from that era of hard drives. Still also need to go grab a battery for it, but most likely not yet. it is a little slow doing some operations but it reminds me of the old family quadra 630AV... it was slowed down with a bunch of necessary extensions my father had installed for work stuff even with the max amount of RAM installed.
never did remember what happened to that thing.
