Cosmetic

  • Exterior case in good condition, interior has some rust damage and mice have stolen bits of foam/paper to make a nest elsewhere.
  • Loose/crumbling foam vacuumed out.
  • Next step is to clean out loose bits of paper and cobwebs that can be accessed without removing any wires/boards.

Documentation

  • Will be started once basic cosmetic cleaning is done of the chassis itself.
