TL;DR

Linus ended up snagging a $40,000-plus environmental test chamber for just $1,000, giving LTT Labs a second unit—but it’s a real dumpster fire of problems. The original maker is long gone, it’s been powered off for over a decade and left outside in a surplus yard, and it hasn’t even made it through the door yet.

No clear blueprint for revival yet: they’re poking around to see if it’s water-cooled, hunting for signs of life, and trying to cobble together a game plan to resurrect this vintage monster. Stay tuned for what’s sure to be a wild restoration ride!
