I've made some minor repairs to vintage computers before, but never revived a completely dead machine. However, a non-working 128k Mac turned up locally on Fb marketplace and followed me home. And after replacing a blown RIFA (ofc) and fixing two broken traces, it's up and running!

I'm still working on the 400k floppy, but a Floppy Emu is doing the trick for now. Many thanks to @adriansdigitalbasement.com for his excellent videos, without which I would have had no chance of getting this machine working.
