Ian worked on early Mac disk drives
Indeed! He got our 128K Mac drive working, but it was inconsistent so he swapped in an 800K drive from a Plus. He also swapped some of the guts from the monitor of a later PET 2001 (keyboard style) into our chicklet-style 2001 monitor -- I'll let him elaborate on what exactly those guts involved. Then he worked on the chicklet PET's cassette drive; he said the mechanical parts are good (needs a new belt) and he'll spend time on its electronics another day. Meanwhile he taught me how to fix the non-responsive orange buttons on an Apple // joystick (mostly just open the joystick, dip the buttons in alcohol, press them a zillion times).
There was another guy, forget his name with an early Mac for repairs.

You ate 7 slices of pizza.
That's not true. He ate 7 whole pizzas.
