Hi Brady,

When I gutted mine I only saved the 110V transformer, some of the big
capacitors in the computer cabinet and the rectifiers out of the
computer cabinet. Everything else went on EBay or for scrap. As I am a
bit limited for room in my workshop I scrapped the computer cabinet and
moved the power cabinet to the side. Everything now fits in the power
cabinet. The computer is a very tight fit. I ended up taking the front
panel off the case to squeeze it in.

PS I also saved the motors out of the tape reader because I just
couldn't throw them away :-)
