Finally fixed up that old Apple IIc I've had in the basement for 3 years

I spent last Sunday recapping the power supply and got the disk drive to spin again after cleaning the heads with a q-tip and some alcohol. It actually booted up my old copy of Oregon Trail on the first try without any glitches. Anyone else have luck getting a stubborn vintage machine running again with a simple fix like that?

Three years in a basement and it booted Oregon Trail on the first try really?

Seems like the same kind of luck that makes a forgotten bag of chips taste perfect.
