Hello everyone I'm curious as to what official Apple tools everyone may have; for example below I have an Apple TechStep, Apple CAT, Apple Service Binders, and a neat device I found that Apple used to pry Mac's apart back in the day. Please feel free to share some of the neat tools you have.

Another idea is to build a program with C or HyperCard that will take in various symptoms the user enters and display possible solutions. That program will run from 512k (System 3) to pre-OS-X Macs up to G4, which can run OS 9 natively. It could be ported to the Newtons, too.

Yep! Hey @JDW! :) Can you and @Kay K.M.Mods come up with automation for a compact Mac to adjust the yoke and screen adjustments by itself? Servos, C programs, CDEV, INITs, and controller board for that.
I must be completely honest with you in that I simply do not have time to spend on fun projects like that. Perhaps if I quite YouTube entirely, I might. But I'd rather make videos instead. :-)

Yeah, that type of project can be time-consuming, with many snafus. Your videos are amazing.
