Last month in Japan I bought this 1986 Macintosh Plus, it was a super fascinating experience finding a machine this old in the junk floor of a Hard Off, but needless to say I quickly brought it back to the US with me. Today we’re going to restore it to good working order by diagnosing what’s wrong, cleaning it out, calibrating the display, and fixing a stubborn floppy drive! Join me on the first step of a fun retro adventure (with much more to come)
