Can you re-cap a Classic II board? If so, what's the cost including shipping and the caps from 43201? Thanks! Click to expand... If you send the logic board via United States P…

Any of us here into the case modding scene? I have a Macintosh SE FDHD here that shouldn't be too hard to get working again, looks like the HD is blown but that's all. The case ext…

I have a personal webhost I can put them on.

This time I'm gonna binhex them on my classic Mac before archiving. I'll set them up on an FTP. Since they're all abandonware, it should be perfectly legal for you all to snag co…

Oh, I'd be happy to make images of the software. I have to do that again anyway because at one point I had made images of most of my vintage software, then I copied all my images …

I was looking at bare bones LCD panels, and I can find them for around $20 or so for an 800x600 panel. However, finding pinout information was impossible even from the manufacture…

Larry Pina has a very clear procedure for doing this in his book Mac Classic & SE Repair and Upgrade Secrets. It was a very common upgrade at the time. Books can be found r…

It may be best to see if you can find somewhere to mount a standard computer fan and find one to suit. Click to expand... Larry Pina has a very clear procedure for doing this i…

Don't be. The first computer I remember growing up on was an IBM XT Which was only a few years old. That machine was so slow, it couldn't even play the games that came out just …

Wow! I'm always amazed when people keep their things so nicely. But it's so wonderful when they do, isn't it? Great haul! I sure wish I'd bought an LC system back when I bought my…

Oh man, dunno. I have a Color Classic that I did my 640x480 mod on, I could stick my other upgrade card in there. I'm at work so my mind is racing over possibilities when I get h…

I don't really use my 8500 that much anymore. However, I downloaded your utility just in case I need it in the future and I wanted to make sure the documentation is as complete as …

Jameco, mouser, digikey would probably have them

So what he didn't mention in the description was: The LC is in its own box, complete with all software, manuals, original cords, keyboard, mouse, and styrofoam inserts. The high r…

That's called a squirrel cage fan. It's more common in industrial and automotive applications, and, as you have surmised, is not a common or readily available computer part. It m…

Good job. This is the part where we mob you for disk (and disc) images.

Eggs-actly. Avoid the wet-slug style tantalums when buying replacement caps. Nearly all caps you will find today are solid, but there are some of the old wet types in surplus catal…

Niiiiiiiiice :O

Thanks for the correction, Henry. While I have read about the old "wet slug" tants that do have fluid inside, for more than 15 years I have never (neither professionally nor in my…

I officially *HATE* you with a passion. *breaks down into tears* Would you still be willing to let go of that TransWarp?

Some tantalum caps have liquid electrolyte and some are solid. The liquid-filled ones may leak or dry out like aluminum Caps. The solid ones are very long lived.

I just got back and it's even cooler than I thought. I had trouble keeping my composure when I saw it, and I felt a little guilty walking out of the house with it. $10!!!! I…
