πŸš€πŸ’ΎπŸŽ‰ Blast from the Past Alert! πŸŽ‰πŸ’ΎπŸš€

Guess who just breathed new life into a venerable relic from 1975? Yep, this tech necromancer right here! πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈβœ¨ I’ve been on a time-travel mission, restoring the legendary #IMSAI8080, the first real microcomputer accessible to hobbyists and tech enthusiasts.

This beauty was more than just a machine.And now, after replacing the power supply board with modern switch-mode DC supplies (8V, -16V, and 16V), this jewel is humming like it’s fresh off the production line! πŸ› οΈπŸ’₯

Who needs a time machine when you’ve got an IMSAI 8080 purring on your desk?

Oh, so that's why it won't turn on. Pretty gnarly corrosion but it should be cleanable. Will update soon.
