My Latest ...

Ooo, very nice. I've longed to get a color Pivot.

Well this is the original Mono Pivot - Model 0194. I really should have bought the color pivot I saw for $25 six months ago

No sign of life on the Iicx I hear a slight pop when I plug in the power cable but no life from the power button, keyboard power or reset. Caps look filthy. I'll have to crack open the PSU to see if anything looks hater in there. It is a GE power supply, so I'm not sure that the Aztec problems would be applicable.

Nice haul!

Too bad with the IIcx powersupply. Those were weak, i've had several die on me.

I still have few IIcx motherboards at work (waiting to be trashed) and PSU's (no idea if they work) if you want to pay for the shipping.

One of the Classic-mac's look like to have Finnish-flag on it? The one under the HDD case on right. Wow.

I'm going to recap the logic board first. They are in pretty bad shape.

Yes, the SE has a flag and an Oregon Country Fair sticker on it. I think it's the 20th annual fair so that dates it at 1989.

Anyone know the pin out for the Radius cable? It didn't come with one and I'd like to try and use it. Any Radius card suggestions?

There's a thread about this somewhere, I'm pretty sure it's a standard , straight through, DA-19 <-> Da-19 Mac Video Cable.

I'd suggest the NuBus Radius Pivot Card, but you can snag one of Radius Color Pivot II/IIsi cards that macmetex has on eBay. IIRC, the former I have (sand monitor) and the latter drives the older monitors as well, check the Radius Q&A, I think that's where I read it.

The nice thing is that the IIcx I got yesterday has a Radius Pivot II card and the proper cable (DB-15 to DB-9). The Pivot monitor is the same as the one I got a few weeks ago.

I left the IIcx plugged in overnight and now it's working today. Time to recap.

Was that earlier on in this thread? Nine lines are more than enough when you you already know what monitor is on the other end of the cable.

I'm beginning to suspect you're running an I want your . . . ad on craigslist . . . on second thought, never mind . . . let's not spoil your MacJedi image. [] ]'>

Nope. I tried that wanted ad tactic once. I got a lot of spam and a IIgs but that was it. I just cruise the Craigslist for sale ads, University surplus, computer thrift stores and dumpsters regularly.

Nice. Let's hope you have a huge basement... XD

I picked up the boxed LC III, Color Plus 14" and Stylewriter II that was pointed out here for $40 last night. All nicely squared away with original boxes, manuals and software. Plastics are a little yellowed but other than that, it looks good.

I tried posting on Craigslist, and I got several emails from people accusing me of trying to buy only the good, rare items. I was like... well, yes? Sort of the point. *shrug* Every now and then I'll post a Wanted ad, but I've never gotten anything out of it.

I'm glad I never tried that tactic . . . besides, I never really sell anything. :I

If you have trouble with that Color Plus not powering on, look up information about the blowing fuse problem, unless you're already familiar with it, of course. It's old enough, you might want to search the old comp.sys.mac.* newsgroups, if Google isn't screwing up the old Deja News engine too badly today...

I just checked out your collection, great set-o-toys . . . if you're missing the Quadra 840AV, I'm feeling ever so slightly less deprived.

:lol: Well, you'll feel better as I do not have a Q840. I only have a Q800 and a PM8500 in that terrible Spindler case.

Yep, spindly plastics alright. I protect the AV and the 8500 by using each as two of the legs of my MacCoffeeTable™ for protection.

That way I'm less inclined to brea . . . erm . . . play with them. [] ]'>

Use the force, mcd . . . you'll soon have a quartet of AVs . . . going by your record. Lucky son of a gun! )

Found a nearly new looking 15" blueberry VGA Studio Display and a 3.5" UniDrive for $27 total at the Goodwill Computer Store this afternoon.

No goodwill computer stores here. Last I heard they just run recycling drives o_0

I made an unexpected haul today. I went down to the recyclers in Eugene to shoot the spit with Mike who I've been chatting with recently. He said he'd been hoping I'd stop by because he had a pallet box full of old Apple stuff that he would like some help going through. Sure enough, it was a 5'x5'x4' box full of old, beige stuff. I assisted him in looking through machines for things like processor upgrades and such to offer up on the LEM list. He offered to let me take any of the stuff that he wasn't selling and the rest would get recycled. I fit as much as I could in my car

I'm still sifting through some of the boxes but he helped me fill up with

two Apple ][+ machines with Disk ][ drives

a set of original, black Apple paddle game controllers

a 256k Apple /// with external Disk /// drive and a 5 MB ProFile

700 MHz iMac SE in the original box with disks and accessories

Disk //c drive

Franklin Ace 10 Disk drive

Monitor //c with the stand

four external 800k drives (the ones that match the Mac Plus)

New in box Unidrive, Modem 1200 and Modem accessory kit for Macintosh

Appleshare File server Apple II setup disk

A box full of joysticks

A box full of NuBus network cards

A box full of Apple II cards

A box full of NuBus video cards (RasterOps, Radius, SuperMac)

A box full of IIci cache cards

Still going through a lot. I need to figure out what the video cards are.

Nice haul . . .

< . . . mumble, mumble, lucky son of . . . : >

. . . erm . . . if you've got an extra good IIci Cache Card, I'd like to test one in the LCIII with the LCIII PowerCache adapter . . .

. . . I'm dying to see if it shows up as cache in the profilers. :approve:

Trash: I have eight IIci cache cards. Seven are Apple branded, the other is a Daystar FastCache IIci.

I don't have a IIci (I have a IIcx, but no IIci). You're welcome to one if you want it. PM me an address.

Nice haul! The Nubus video cards like the SuperMac Thunder/24 and possibly a cache card look interesting... I recently got a IIci and am still getting acquainted with its slots. :b&w:

That is an seriously good conquest! If you come across anything extra Apple ][ stuff let me know

Another big hit. You're good at this.

Snagged a pair of Pro Speakers new in an opened box for $8.

Very, very nice indeed.

I finally got a free stand to replace the broken one on my free ADC Studio CRT. The picture on this thing is pretty stellar and I think the design is rather stunning too. Apple really went out with a bang on their very last CRT display.

I wish I would have known, I have an whole extra monitor. I did the DVD laptop drive with IDE adaptor and pin removal so it works like stock. It's sweet IMO. Gratz on the setup. My speakers don't have the three hole covers and I replaced the bad foam speakers from regular pro speakers. The white matches better IMHO.

are those covers on the speakers detachable? or are those just a different version? I have the whites but no covers.
