That's great! They deserve to be freed from the confines of the barn. Now they roam around in the wild and get a breathe of fresh air.

I wonder how long it will take before the majority of them ends up in landfill.

This is an old article. I believe the original seller already depleted their stock. There's a lot of good components in them for tinkerers and some folks still have interest in recreating the original services. I bought one while they were still being sold cheap, the things really were just like brand new

What was the state of the capacitors on the circuit board, since those are generally the first to go.
