That restoration is so epic that it deserves to be written up and preserved somewhere in a mainstream site as a model for how it is possible to rehabilitate a scrap, seemingly too-far-gone computer, assuming that it is potentially interesting or important. I mean, even that ghastly black paint got removed.

I am not sure where that "somewhere" could be, but kudos. It really shows something about why sad gits like ourselves do this that most of our simpler projects just don't. It is the scale of it that impresses — even more impressive than your last major huzzah, that "completed" IIfx system.

I think we need a medal for bravery for that restoration.
