Tims Retro Corner | Battered Mac LC 630 Restoration - #MARCHintosh 2023 @TimsRetroCorner | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Thanks to pcbway.com for sponsoring this video. My first "old" Mac arrived in a battered and sorry state, with "some assembly required", thanks to a relaxed attitude to packaging on the part of the vendor. So of course I'm going to pull it apart and fix it up. I might even get it to work...
