The sleds are already showing visible cracks - I designed a jank replacement sled for the 7500 but I don’t want to go that route here unless I have to. This whole machine is an extra dry granola bar.

This old bird probably could do with a recap but my goal is complete - a basic revamped Mac for #marchintosh. The plastic in this old girl was far more brittle than the plastic in the 7500/100 I revamped last year. As a precaution, I left all drives in situ and just zip tied the BlueSCSI into place

Not sure if there’s an issue with the images I’m using or just the fact that I had a very old SD card and it may be the issue - she finally sped up after a bit.
Motherboard is a hot mess - getting this open with brittle plastic is going to be fun.
