Macintosh Plus B

I purchased this Apple Macintosh Plus through a local online marketplace together with another Plus as untested.

Unfortunately, there was a battery installed which was just about to start leaking, but luckily there was no oxidation inside yet.

Repairs:

Like many Macs from this era, this computer also had paper Rifa capacitors, which tend to blow up once they're dried out. Luckily, these are easily replaced with modern equivalents:

After this, it was safe to try powering it up:
