Battery-bombed PB180 guts somewhat fixed. Lower board still bad, main 5V_SH regulator won't come on. Upper board tests fine on my good 180. Battery connector area, DFAC and surrounding area on the lower are the worst-looking parts.

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.

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

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.
