That's pretty amazing. I like how giddy he is that it works.

Great restoration job. I think most people would have given up at the ant farm.

One thing that bothered me a little (as did the VIC-20 restoration from the 8-Bit Guy) was that they left the rust inside the case on the bottom. All because "no one will see it".
In my restorations, I would never let that slide. Even if I had to take a Dremel and sand it down to almost nothing...then refill with epoxy, that's what I would do. Mainly because of my OCD. It would be like a "Tell-Tale Heart" for me. Always knowing it was there...thumping louder and louder. lol
I figure if the rust is that bad, removing a little plastic isn't going to make much difference. But that's just me.
