I am in the same boat, but recently, I have managed to get several
bits of paying work.
So, in the garage & attic, I have:
* 1 dead Apple iMac G5 20" with a well-known motherboard capacitor problem
* 1 dead Apple Mac SE/30, cause unknown, but I've bought a service manual
* 1 dead IBM ThinkPad 700, due to battery leakage, that needs to be
stripped down and given a good clean and checked for damage
* 1 dead Acorn RISC PC and a spare motherboard, which to be honest, I
suspect I can sort out myself :)
Fancy having a crack at the two Macs and the "Butterfly"? Happy to pay
for your time, and I'll deliver them to you. I'll buy and bring a set
of replacement capacitors for the iMac.
I mean, if it'll help...
I also will try to sort you out with a decent fully-working tested
modern PC capable of running a current Linux distro with a full GUI
desktop, gratis, if you'd like. I am sure I can sort out screen,
mouse, keyboard etc.
