    Yup, Akihabara. Will be walking around half the day so will duck into any store that looks cool. Unfortunately won’t have time to head out of Tokyo. I don’t have a lot of room either so anything laptop size or smaller will work but no systems I think. Will mostly be browsing.

    Got to spend time at Map Camera today in Shinjuku which was fun.

    If you like browsing more camera stuff, there is Camera Kitamura just behind the station in Akihabara, I got some nice Nikon lenses there. But I love just browsing around the electronic shops, I wish they still existed in my country!

    One Power Macintosh total across two stores in Akihabara. Also went by a U&J Mac’s but unfortunately it was closed. Was fun browsing all the stores though.

    Well, after recapping everything, it powers up to a blinking green light and then eventually a solid green light. I then believe it attempts to print a test page and the printer comes to life, but then it stops and the red jam light goes on. It feels like it's unable to suck in a page from the paper cartridge. Will need to debug further when I get some more time.

    Uhh.... LCD from a dead powerbook duo 280c which I scraped the polarization film off of (it was trashed). Finished recapping it and was testing it to see if I could see anything using a circular polarizer lens... but got this:

    Testing a repaired PowerKey along with in the middle of recapping/repairing a Duo 280c and a mini dock.

    You gotta be "kid"ding me...
    To be fair, that doesn't look messy. That's organized chaos right there.
    How'd the testing go?

    PowerKey works.. there were a couple cracked solder joints and like others, the wires needed to be reseated for two of the four outlets.

    Regarding the Duo, about to start a thread on it. It's working, but still working on the keyboard and the battery.
