Cosmetic
- Exterior case in good condition, interior has some rust damage and mice have stolen bits of foam/paper to make a nest elsewhere.
- Loose/crumbling foam vacuumed out.
- Next step is to clean out loose bits of paper and cobwebs that can be accessed without removing any wires/boards.
Documentation
- Will be started once basic cosmetic cleaning is done of the chassis itself.
