@garthbeagle I was just wondering if there's a way do determine the date from the serial number on these.

This job kinda sucked

At least the switches themselves are kind of serviceable

The rust was so deep that the wire wheel wasn’t enough. I had to break out the flap disc

The Unidisk drives that came with this system were (are) really nasty too.

A couple of pictures of the completed case / keyboard restoration. It almost boots (beeps, vertical bars, and can sort of see the Apple II at the top, this is going to require some troubleshooting)
