Starting out 2026 with a wonderful little set. This is a late 50s Zenith 15B20 portable B&W Television, it's getting a full cleanup and new capacitors. This unit will be used to test prototypes for a plug and play hdmi to uhf box I'm designing.

Picked this up last July. 1992 Macintosh Classic II. It had screen issues caused by a broken anode cap clip and the SCSI drive was unusable as it had AtEase downloaded on it. After a full recap of the analog board and a BlueSCSI it's now a fully functional unit running MacOS 7.5.3.
