Same here... bunch of older tech that I just couldn’t pitch. Some with bad caps, etc. Fortunately, I have the skills to solder with actual lead-based solder along with a bad-azz soldering station. Time and all that.

Yeah. I kind of collected them for a bit when money was better. I have three working PCs now. And an Apple thingy or two. An Android sitting around here somewhere. Yeah I’m a tech nerd.
