A few months ago, I picked up a box of PlayStations at a bowling alley. I don't think they were used there; the seller worked there. We went through the box during one livestream, and I have my "painter's tape notes" on them. I have ordered capacitor kits, and a replacement spindle. I think that's enough to start refurbishing this box of PlayStations!

Will I successfully refurbish any of them? Will I successfully replace the broken spindle? Will I decide that refurbishing multiple PlayStations is a bad idea? You'll have to watch to find out!
