I have to laugh, and agree with this statement, Bob. Some guys do a complete
bare metal rebuild of the subject device within four hours after first
contact.  Others take a little longer.

My projects tend to take *years* to complete, due to interruptions like
work, family, wars, pestilence, etc.  But completing a project you started
several years ago is especially satisfying, if for no other reasons than you
didn't lose any of the parts, and there aren't any screws left over.    :-)
