dont know about the band, and as far as the vacuum you can safely release it through the little spout it was formed with maybe someone can chime in on how to actually do it, becau…

I got the yoke off now (it just needed a little twist once the screws were loosened to break the grip of the glue). The only thing I need to get off now is the metal band around th…

Look up: Richard Martin Belleville, MI 48111 on LEMswap, he has tons of working g4 macs in lots cheap, pickup only if you are in that area.

its glued on but removable, its glued on cause depending on how its twisted it will effect the orientation of the screen, once in the right place, plop

Ok, one other thing. Can I remove the yoke from around the long end of the tube and save it for parts or is it permanently attached? There are places where it looks there are dollo…

I managed to get my 128K Mac upgraded 512ke system on the registry tonight. If you are looking for me there is one more piece of info there. hehe Here's my decoding for the Mac.…

I usually use an insulated pair of pliers to remove my anode caps (the correct term for the "suction cup") from CRTs. I carefully use the pliers to pinch one of the two pincers inw…

I seem to recall reading in the manual for the original Macintosh that the numeric keypad plugged into the keyboard port on the front, and had two RJ-12 jacks - one for the connect…

Well I got it and had to open it up to see the upgrade board and it was in there, but it wasn't plugged in to the expansion slot! I also accidentally snapped the tail end off of th…

Brilliant! What does the numeric keypad plug into? Serial port? Click to expand... The numeric keypads are actually connected in a chain with the keyboard on the early Macs. Yo…

Hah, since when does the US Government (specifically the DOD) need a particularly good reason for anything? Here's a longish excerpt from an article written by a forensic data rec…

Brilliant! What does the numeric keypad plug into? Serial port?

you can disconnect it from the crt, not sure about the board there's a pair of pincers in that suction cup that keep it in place, feel around the rubber, you should be able to fig…

No pic. I snapped the end off with the prongs that connects to the video board. The CRT is useless now. I just need to disconnect that red wire so I can throw it out.

Could you post a pic? Your description is a bit confusing. The yoke is not connected to the suction-cup thingumabob. Rather, it's the assembly that surrounds the neck of the crt (h…

I accidentally snapped the end of the yoke off a SE CRT recently but I can't get it disconnected from the power board. The red line with the suction cup at the CRT end is what I ca…

Nice one!

Is it possible to format HD for MacPlus using some other 68k mac? (ex. Quadra 700) Click to expand... Yes, absolutely. As mentioned early in the thread, you'll want to set the…

Geez.. I suppose now I have to register mine. AWESOME score though! I wonder how old mine was. I posted pics of it on January 24, 2010 For it's birthday. That and the fact that…

Yeah that's my plan. I'm gonna combine them into a great G3. I'm going to get some more RAM from my schools RAM reserve (Made that up) I think I may just stick with regular OSX 10.…

i have one w/ a G4 in it. they are very easy to OC, i would suggest swapping the 400mhz cpu and pci cards in from your dead g3, and then OCing the cpu to 450mhz (i added an extra f…
