Just a resurrected Mac CC.

Narrative and Provenance »

Received from  a client dropoff at the shop. The original owner is known and I have data on file with machine. The computer worked for years then died when tested again in 2014. Decided a year later to re-do the capacitors on it and it lives to compute again.
