I use the AA and AAA lithium which are usually around 1.55 volts when new.

Would I have to solder the wires to the existing battery socket? If I could attach the wires without soldering, that would be better. Click to expand... In the case of machines…

Do I have to use surface mount capacitors? Or could I use one that's the same rating, but just solder the wires to the pads? My hands shake too much and I have the hardest time t…

I got a brand new SAFT 3.6V lithium online for a good price. My multimeter shows its perfectly good.

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…

The parts list sounds good, to be honest that stuff is harder to find then machines these days.

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:

Any Dual core Pentiums?

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 …
