Yeah, these are really neat machines.
I have two, a Rev. C and 400 MHz Slot Load, both Tangerine, which I've been meaning to restore. Except for a missing CD-ROM bezel, the Rev. C has fared pretty well. The Slot Loader, on the other hand, is a mess. The plastics are cracking, the headphone jack board is broken, and the speakers, although physically intact aside from a hole in one of the cones, don't work. Both were bought new, so they've have been used a fair amount by me, and I only recently began to be able to take care of them (in the past, I simply used them).
They're not necessarily the easiest to take apart, but I think the rewards are well worth the effort
