Just scored an IMSAI

Well, much to my amazement, at lunch today, I got
an IMSAI 8080. In beautiful condition, a few small
scratches, almost no dust. Hasn't been up in years.
I know we've done this before on this list, but...

Where should I start?

I figure:

1) pull all cards.

2) attach dummy load and check PS voltage
   and amperage.
   (What is an appropriate dummy load?)

3) check front panel mechanically. Use an
   OHMmeter to be sure that all switches are
   opening and closing correctly? I seem to
   remember that some people said that front
   panel disassembly/assembly is tricky.

4) install CPU and see if it "lights up"?

Thanks,
Bill Sudbrink
