I found an LC (LC I) that was a bad case of battery leakage and beyond repair. The leakage was confined to one half of the logic board, however. I did my best to remove some of the healthy-looking chips. Is anyone here is interested in them? Given their dubious history plus the thermal stress...

Hi all - I'm about to start a refurb on an LC (LC I). It's not here yet, but already I can see from the advance photos that the external SCSI DB25 and the video DB15 are rusted up. (The insides may be unsalvageable.. don't know yet...) Has anyone already found replacement parts from Digikey or...
