OK, it's not from the factory. But it looks like it, save for a few black scuffs on the side, which I'll deal with.

Look at this lobo!!! It's like it was put in a chamber that halts time!

Looks like C6 leaked on the EGRET which may be preventing soft power from working.

Don't matter. Just like a life-partner, the CC was picked for its look!

Gotta solve CRT no image. I heard a static noise as it turned on, and the Apple bong, but there's no hair-lifting static when I brush the display with the back of my hand.

Spoke too soon! But is there a reason the mobo boots into System 9 in the 575 and gives me this warning in the classic?
