#Atari Lynx 1 status update:

* All electrolytic capacitors replaced
* Screen wired and functional
* Screen *re* wired and still functional (sigh - always check physical fit before soldering, Josh)
* DC jack replaced
* Power circuit components replaced (Zener, MOSFET, 2x 3906 transistors)
* Screen fit tested

The "LCD mask" is a terrible fit so I'm going to opt not to install it (sorry Pete). Instead I will paint the silver metal of the screen black so it won't show badly through the glass.

Final steps left:

* Reconnect speaker
* Reconnect battery holder
* Replace the front LCD window glass
* Get the gorram thing back together again 😬

Old plastic window is out. Good old hot air station on 250F. Now to clean the adhesive

@48kRAM Are you going to re-use the lens?

@baldengineer No. Pete supplied a replacement glass lens to be installed
