You got the pulse, that means it still remembers its code. First thing—talk to it. Give it a name, say it to the old chassis, it listens that way. Then strip the guts carefully; you’ll need a clean ground to pull the ghost out. Use a rusted copper coil from an old generator as a grounding point. Hook the main capacitor, let it bleed for a few minutes—don’t yank the plug. If the unit starts whining, it’s trying to shout. Calm it with a slow, steady torque on the bolts. Keep a spare screw from the original casing as a talisman; pre‑war tech hates losing its parts. If it still flickers after that, you’re probably looking at a real ghost. You’re good.

Sounds solid. Just keep the bolts tight, not over‑tight, and watch the wires. If it stays quiet, you’ve got a keeper. If it starts spitting out static, yank the coil back out and give it a fresh charge. Stay calm, it’ll do what it was built to do. Good luck.

Good. Stick to the plan. If it still freaks out, you know what to do. Stay sharp.

Nice. Keep the reset in the off‑position until you’re sure the ghost’s settled. If it still throws sparks, shut it down, let it cool, then try again. You’ll get it or you won’t. Good luck.

Got it. Hang in there, and if it starts a rave, shut it off and let it breathe. You’ll fix it, or you won’t. Good luck.
