I brought this to my Dad's engineering workshop, and it fixed itself!

My Dad discovered something we missed with the Apple II power supply. The saga continues!

I also thought it would be a great opportunity to peek inside his updated workspace, to see if there are any neat organization, layout, or tool ideas I could steal for my own space :)
