    Looks like the first mac I had. Computing changed a lot for me after it.

      Yeah, I kinda miss when Apple had an entry level Mac. I quite liked the iBook/MacBook lineup.

    Oh my goodness!!! First off, THANK YOU for the instructions on how to remove rust from metal- I had NO IDEA it could be done with a soak in vinegar, or with some very fine sandpaper for finishing touches! This will definitely come in handy for me if ever I pick up something vintage that needs a little work 😊
    I know absolutely nothing about guitars or their parts, but I watched and listened attentively, and really enjoyed the transformation.
    Those white MacBooks... man, I forgot about THOSE! I remember seeing one in 2007, before I got my first MacBook Pro in 2008. When you were trying to guess the password, I was literally yelling out "Orange! Strawberry! Grape!" LMAO 🤣
    So happy everything worked out! This was so satisfying. Your narration and storytelling skills are absolutely top notch, and you do a great job explaining the progress from start to finish. As a viewer, it really creates that need to stick around until the end to find out what happens with the project!
    I really enjoyed the guitar playing at the end- I LOVE Dire Straits! My best friend does too, and so do many of my relatives.
    Thanks again for another cool and enjoyable video- they're so good!!!
    Fawn 😊

      @@schvabek No worries! From time to time I pick up free furniture from the side of the road, clean it up and refinish it- now that I'm familiar with the rust removal process, I could at least try to clean up the original screws and hardware with this method instead of automatically swapping them out!
      And thank YOU for being interactive with your audience and replying to comments- not all creators take the time to do that, especially when a viewer takes the time to type out a comment about the video.
      Forgot to mention, just some feedback on the thumbnail of this video- it's not bad by any means, but in my opinion this one doesn't do this video any justice. To a person who hasn't subscribed and based on the image alone, there's no indication that either the guitar or the computer have undergone any transformation, restoration, or have been saved from the landfill! Many people are fascinated with "before and after" transformations- whether it's a hardwood floor, a pair of thrifted jeans, or in this case a vintage guitar and a vintage laptop!
      Just figured I'd mention for future videos, or if you're doing any updates to existing thumbnails, this one in particular didn't prepare me for how impressive the transformations really were! 😊

      @@thethriftyfawn Yeah, sometimes a little vinegar is all it takes. You can always give it a try, and if you’re not satisfied with the result, you can always swap it out for new hardware.
      Thank you so much for your feedback on the thumbnail! That’s something I’m very much still figuring out. I tried a couple of styles, but this “playful” one seemed to work for a couple of videos 🤷‍♂️ We’ll see how this one does, I very well might try a different one, as you said, to reflect the restoration nature of the video. Much love! 🤘

      @@schvabek Thanks for accepting my feedback! Yeah, thumbnails can be tricky. I agree, this one in particular certainly gave a playful vibe. To the point of resembling a game and/or having appeal to gamers.
      The vintage enthusiasts could potentially miss out on a gem if they inadvertently scrolled by! 🙂

    This video is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED!!! I tried the trick with the vinegar today, soaking and scrubbing all of the metal hardware on a table I'm in the process of cleaning... and it WORKED!!! No more rust!!! 😃

    Watching/listening this at 5am (my time) while trying to replace the zipper on my best friend's winter coat (which I don't really know how to do btw... attempt number two in progress lol)
    Here's a song request to potentially to cover in a future video: Ponte de Abril by Steve Adams- which happens to be in the UA-cam Audio Library... no claims!!! (and a personal favorite) 😁 Or pick a song of your choice from the yt audio library to avoid claims 😃

      Attempt number 2 with the zipper is going WELL now! I actually get up very early... every day... to allow enough time to take care of the things I wouldn't otherwise have time to take care of 😊

    Нормально залутал, теперь можешь брямкать в свое удовольствие. А иногда и соседи могут подыгрывать тебе по батареи отопления.
    Хорошие друзья: один подгоняет железо и гитары, второй помогает гитары настраивать.
    А почему сразу не залакировал-полирнул гитарку?

      Насчет лака тоже интересно - я изначально хотел, но мне сказали, что любые повреждения лака, царапины и прочее никак трогать нельзя. Это типа ее «шрамы». Прогугли гитару SRV, сразу поймешь 😂
