I'm in the processing of bringing a Rainbow back to life. It came with a RX50 floppy drive, Micropolis Hard Drive, and a RAM expansion board. I was able to find a color graphics board for it as well that I
hope to add to the mix after further testing. Its really dirty, and needs a good cleaning. I need to make a custom video/keyboard connector cable to start digging in. It should end up being a great terminal for the PDP-11.

A local seller posted an unknown condition SE/30 on FB Marketplace so I took a chance and am in the process of trying to save it. I powered it on before purchasing, and was greeted with a SIMASIMAC screen. From my limited knowledge of these
systems it sounded like an easy fix (recap) so I thought I would try my luck. Unfortunetally I didn't get quite that lucky and a recap didn't fix it. Its not battery bombed, so thats at least a start. The screen doesn't
appear to have any burn in, appears bright, and the case is in great condition with minimial yellowing. Time to break out the oscilliscope and start tracing circuits!
