Tempest and I made an agreement for him to send me 2 broken Mac II's (one somewhat gutted) in exchange for repair and recap of his IIfx logic board. I basically paid to have the s…

Yeah, recapping is pretty simple, just that there are SO MANY capacitors. I count 13 that I replaced with 47uF tantalums. Also, these are original Mac IIs, so they don't have a R…

Wow, I'd almost be tempted to leave it sealed!

They could go bad sitting on the shelf, but probably not if kept in a cool environment. Good luck with it. LC motherboards are pretty easy to recap, I still have a LC 3 I did if a…

I've had such rotten luck with getting a working LC motherboard, that if this doesn't work, nothing will. I call this a super conquest for me, even at $25. :beige:

I dont have a problem with buying batteries online, but only from certain trusted places, random google hits and ebay are just too loaded with half battery half led weight for me t…

Turns out it was a bad HD cable. Replaced it, and it works great. The coolest thing about this is that it's actually a LC II with the official Apple LC 475 upgrade! Thanks everybo…

Hey now that *is* a good idea. I'll dig some of mine out and join you. On a wiki page would be best. And a scan would be preferable to a photo, where possible - but that can be …

Mac II's came with 800K DD. You might want to check the ROM SIMMs if the units do not chime, I have to clean mine in a pair of IIx's to get them working 100%. Recapping mac II's …

You are quite welcome.

Hardware sequencers are pretty tight, it's true. What model/s are you considering? If you want to keep computer-style sequencing as an option, have you considered an Atari 540 or …

Yep, still needed it! That's EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks a million, 'junky! Go ahead and button'er back up! Great idea posting a picI I'll do that for all the PSUs in …

check your jumper settings, that seemed to work for me: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12672

I recently received an old 400mhz blue and white g3 from someone and intended to use if for some pre-OSX stuff I have. I managed to get it to start up, and was able to boot from th…

You probably no longer need it but here you go: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The r…

If someone would come and pick it up from my door, I would send it off into the world with a ribbon and bow attached. Right now it's taking up useful space. Click to expand... …

Turned out to be leaky caps! Cleaned it up and it works. But I snapped one cap off so I ordered a set of caps to replace 'em all.

In other words, has anybody got a 6500 or a 6500 PSU lying around who could dig one out and post all the voltages and wattage for each for me? I need to adapt an ATX PSU to run the…

Did you try unplugging the floppy drive, the hard drive and the fan to see if it's caused by any of them?

I want to get down to a couple of ms of MIDI jitter. So far I'm at about 5ms with my computer setup. I'm now only recording simple note on/off events to make sure nothing is cloggi…

You will be limited to the number of tracks you can run on a Classic. Performer is the best of the lot in those days. But you will run into the same problem if try to jam too much …

I have an 1040STE with an external hard disk. I wish I could say I use it frequently, but it was sort of an impulse buy. Maybe when I get my music studio set up, I'll dust it off a…
