Starting a thread to document everything I discover, fix and rebuild on this Getaway. 1st time tearing a machine all the way so have tons of questions and instead of having separate threads on each item, thought this might work. I don't want to call it a restore because not sure it will go that far.
Also, since I picked this machine up from a FS thread here on KLOV thought it would be interesting to document its life. Wish me luck.
