Dirty Leroy and the Executive

The two cabinets record a prototype-to-polished-build path. Dirty Leroy used salvaged and refurbished materials to establish the basic cabinet, controls, software flow, and recovery approach. The Executive carried selected lessons into a more deliberate finish.

Both pages now separate photographed facts, remembered specifications, completion status, unrealized extensions, and subjective builder impressions.
