CC and Classic from a Twin Cities computer club/hackerspace fixed. The CC just needed a clean and recap, the Classic had been recapped but was run with electrolyte still on the board, which ruined that. Bad couple of spares sourced, one clean board made from all spares and returned to club. junk parts kept to eventually do something with.

Got a mangy PowerBook 100. All cleaned and recapped, works well now, using the HDD from the Duo 250 since that has bad tunnel vision I currently don't have the time to treat. This had had the trackball PCB worn thru, and was coated in nicotine tar.

Was given a Classic II board. Broken slot removed for later replacement. Recapped it with new junk that was sitting at the bottom of a decommissioned pick and place. No real plans for it yet.

Got some NuBus cards: 8•24GC, ColorSpace II and ColorSpace FX, and a Toby. GWorld slots on the 8•24GC reverse engineered and SIMMs designed.

And also a 520, which needed some fixing. Both are in pretty decent shape, as far as 500 series machines go.

Got a 540c for Xmas 2022!

Had gotten and repaired a Duo 230 earlier in 2022. Got a floppy adapter for it - nope, dead SWIM in that. *sigh*. Sold Duo 230 at cost to a friend.

Sad 165c acquired from eBay, quick-fixed minus display. Also at same friend's.

$20 DuoDock salvaged, cleaned (cigarettes and mice) and given to same friend at whose house the 140 is parked.

Headless PowerBook 140 (somewhat poorly) recapped, bad display cable replaced with wires for a temporary (read: permanent) hack. Machine parked at a friend's house.

A cardboard PowerBook 150 with a trackpad from a battery-bombed 190cs. My first functional m68k machine.
