Nice! You should post videos of your restorations. I’m sure people would love to watch them.

That is an idea. I work on multiple things at a time so that could be tough. I really need to at least take incremental pictures. This drive was stored in a barn since 1990ish and the case and board looked really rough. The board looks like new now and I need to do some work on the case. I think this drive might have been before they implemented the fire retardant plastics rule because it is still a perfect cream-white minus some grit and whatnot.

Also, good to see the CIA niggers didn't throw you in a hot box torture chamber. We were wondering where you were earlier on mumble.

Haha, yeah, sorry about that, I've been a bit busy for the last couple days.

You can try to retrobrite the case.

Heh, also will be glad (as are the rest of us) that you are not locked up in a waterboard torture suite.

The case just needs a light scrubbing. The later model 1541 gets yellow/brown but this one looks like it should. Almost to my 32 meg Commodore NAS, just need to get 10 or so more drives working.
