Hi there!
So I am in the process of sensitively refurbishing a Pismo PowerBook G3... I found one in very, very good physical condition, and while it works perfectly as is I plan on upgrading the HDD and RAM so it can better support a dual boot OSX/OS9 install.
The only thing that is really left is the rather dead battery. While it holds a few minutes of charge, it is basically unusable.
I was wondering if there are any tinkerers in the UK who enjoy rebuilding batteries?! It's completely above my level of expertise, I would probably end up killing myself/frying the machine if I were to even think about trying...
If there is anyone up to the (paid) challenge then let me know! I would love to have a fully working machine that can run on its own charge!
