There are two types of Mac collectors. Those that use them and those that store them.

I surely am a user (not only) of old Macs and if possible I repaired nearly every machine I own by myself (besides my G5 that leaked its cooling liquid for killing both CPUs).

Sadly if you intend to actually use your old Mac you are well advised to start learning how to repair it, or find someone locally you can pay to maintain them.

Again: I never dealt with CRTs before, nor with analogue boards of old Macs and before I´m searching for any good starting point in order to repair my Plus I´m trying to find helpful hints where ever I can. To be honest I´m no super-soldering-master and I´d really hate to blow my Plus just because of re-soldering something that didn´t need it.
