restoring a Series IIx

2007-11-28 by dvdborn

Hi,

I've taken upon me the daunting task of restoring a Series IIx. 

When it went into storage it was still working fine. But that was before the battery decided 
to spill its acid all over the CPU control card.

I'm guessing that someone else already has done some work on the card since it seems 
that some chips are missing. Or is it normal that some sockets on the board are not filled?

I've uploaded a picture of the card here:

Can anyone else please post a picture of their CPU Control card so I can compare the 2?

I hope I get this IIx going again. It will give me the chance to own it for a substantial 
amount of time and play with it.

BTW, I'm not a qualified technician but I restored my own Emulator III some time ago and 
that went well.

Cheers,
David
