This poor Mac Classic spent decades in a heavy smoker's apartment. Now it's time to try and restore it to perfect working condition so I can gift it to my friend!

Aside from cleaning, recapping, and retro-brighting... It seems like this wonderful retro computer wasn't working and then stuck on a shelf, so I'm expect some "speed bumps" and troubleshooting along the way :)
