When bushnrvn acquired two Sol-20s (wiki), he knew he will have a lot of work to do.

One is brought back to life now.

The fuse holder was missing its cap and the power button would not stay engaged, requiring a constant press to supply power.

The most remarkable thing is probably that both components are still manufactured by their original manufacturers – after half a century!
