Adrian has quite a few interesting videos posted on YouTube. If you haven’t seen any of them before, he repairs old hardware - with the entire method demonstrated on screen. They are very well done, and you find yourself trying to solve it as well.

In the first of the Model III/4/CoCo1 videos, he looks into the cabinet. He followed that video with another one where he gets the main board running again - very helpful if you are thinking about repairing an old Coco yourself. It looks like he will focus the next episode on getting the monitor and disk drives working.
