I collect a lot of different types of old things. My biggest regrets are pieces where I did too much, or that I accidentally maimed in the interest of "cleaning" - I do as little as possible to get it things back to working condition. That is just my personal approach, its not a universal law, and certainly nothing I am going to impose on others. There is a spectrum from preservation, conservation, restoration, and renewing. All of these have their place. If you can keep something from becoming e-waste that is a win in my book.I released a new video today where I did a cursory examination of my ADM-1, gave some history, etc. It's doing well, but one of the commenters took issue with my poking around the unit. Basically his synopsis was, I was doing it all wrong, and damaging precious historical equipment.
