With all of that out of the way, we are down to the apple 5300 guts of the thing, plus a gorgeous custom heatsink. The power board looked ok, and the barrel jack just needed the usual resolder.
This was actually less stressful than a normal 5300 because there were no plastic tabs to dislodge. Only one broken standoff. And given the hardware and cable for the display, I'm assuming it's an active matrix 'c' model display.

The HD is fine - the most efficient way to image it was to hook it up to the Quicksilver via a cheap USB adapter. It rebuilt the desktop file, which revised the drive size from 3.7 to 1.8 gb (on a 2.1 GB drive). Imaged completely with no problems.

@likesoldmacs@bitbang.social 👍🏼 I have hipped so many to the ice cube tray trick, and everyone had their mind blown at the idea, same as me when someone brought it up to me 25 years ago when I started disassembling Apple stuff.
