IBM ThinkPad 700C

Project Name: Orca

Orca is an example of the first ThinkPad notebook. This machine establishes everything that defines a ThinkPad.
This particular unit took a lot of work to restore. It had suffered serious damage from the main battery leaking. Ultimately I ended up replacing most of the internals, but it was worth it.
