Decided to go back to stock and research more modern options for later. Old mod chip placed into containment. Leaded solder added to all the caps, wish me luck removing them all tomorrow 😬

By tomorrow I obviously meant next week. Getting a feeling for using the hot air station, very satisfying! That said, I did manage to nudge one of the caps by mistake and dislodge some other components. Just more practice, right? 😬

I got over confident with the PSU. I've done a bunch of through-hole stuff, but not when the componets are over 30 years old. Oops!
