After spending a week searching for a T-15 screwdriver, I finally got the case open today! Observations so far:
* A screw strut had broken loose and was rattling in the case.
* The hard drive and floppy drive are mounted crooked, and there is no LED present anywhere. The HD bears an Apple sticker, so it was probably scavenged out of another Mac at some point.
* Peering inside, it looks like the original purple Tadiran battery is intact. Good thing it's not a red Maxell, but I've got a good mind to take it out anyway.
I'm now at the "discharge the CRT" disassembly step, and feel at a bit of a loss. Most of the tutorials say to use a discharge tool (what?) attached to the grounding lug (where?), and I've never done this sort of work before.
