Colour Classic carcass!

Finally! A mostly-dead Colour Classic I can butcher upgrade into a Taco. Now I don't have to slaughter my mostly-working CC

I also scored a pair of 10" laptop LCDs and found a seller in Hong Kong with reasonably priced LCD controller boards.

The CCC has arrived. I shall now commence the CCCP - Colour Classic Carnage Project.

Glad that you clarified. For just a moment it seemed threateningly retrograde ... Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik.

"CCCP"

That is irony. That is another acrynom for USSR. I don't know if that was intended as a pun or not.

but i would not buy a butchered mac off of ebay. I have too many PC caucuses. :>

Nicely done B - I've a black CC that needs a home (I did not do this, it was painted very nicely though), and it's working (apart from some colour issues - needs a tweak on the RGB pots on the CRT). Want it?

It's intentional. Not really ironic, just puerile.

The CC is a great find.... I got my two from a dumpster one day... took them home and power them right up, no issues, not a single problem.... well only one minor problem... the guy that owned the dumpster made me take the 15 or so LC, LC II, and LC III systems too...

Of course my wife didnt speak to me for a couple of weeks when I backed up to the house and unloaded it all.... but thats ok, I like the quiet...

Dude, you've got to be more careful about getting Macs in your house. And find some home for those LCs.

I'm thinking of painting/modding a CC very soon. One of the ones I picked up today has a nasty case and I want to fix that!
