Restoring a rare PC's Limited 286

PC's Limited was Michael Dell's first company and brand name. Their 286 model was the fastest of its kind in 1986, and we restore this legend back to working condition.... with a few sparks along the way.

    I'm jealous of your soldering, it's very neat and precise, my hands have tremors so I can't do super fine repair work like trace repairs or SMD work, but I can do simple through hole stuff.
