I gave myself 30 minutes to get one of those going once.
I got access to just about all subsystems/components in that time.
The coolest thing that really made me like the machine was that the
video monitor was IIRC 5V,NTSC in, picture out. Very easy to use.

heat,time, and 1.2M drives all can degrade the data to some degree.
