Sadly doesn't work anymore as it was dropped and damaged. Found it at an ewaste site with the idea to build an ITX pc inside with a little DIY digital oscilloscope replacing the screen connected to the audio out so you can see the wave form as you listen to music or play games

Electronics that old are often pretty repairable...

Yeah that's another reason that I haven't taken it apart yet because we get a guy once a year come to our lab that calibrated oscilloscopes for us and said this one is super easy to fix and he has parts for them if I ever reach out to him
