Personally, if you've got a IIx, I'd leave it as a IIx if possible - remember, although the IIfx is much faster, if you upgrade it with a IIfx mobo, you'll have a IIfx, complete wi…

Such machine can be rescued by cleaning and drying, probably with some losses concerning the harddisk drive. Never try to start a wet computer. Make sure the computer is disconne…

I just recapped my Classic II, a bit of a pain because everything is cramped but doable. You need 3 different values, maybe 13 total aluminium capacitors going from memory.

My reply is in the other topic you made about this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10556

Needs a proper restoration. Replace all caps on logicboard and analog board if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, let a professional do the recap for you. Also, read this: h…

I picked up a Classic II yesterday for $3 at a church rummage sale. Today I finally got the chance to power it on and check it out. Unfortunately I was greeted with this: Upon f…

Here is a really nice Macintosh LC II with max RAM/VRAM and a Sonnet Presto Plus w/ethernet and FPU. Fair price for what you're getting too. Link Click to expand... The BIN is a …

Yep, just water from the basement drain backing up (ground water from around the house). I think it was under water less than 10 hours - not sure since I wasn't home when it happe…

Apple is semi unique in the fact that they do control their own market (in a royal pita 1980's way) but I often wonder about "the man" and his choices Imagine a world in which app…

I'm curious about this Silenx fan. I've seen SEs with various fans (DC Pico Ace, Elina Fan, the notorious "rat cage") but have never seen one of these in a stock SE. Of those three…

Just water from the storm drain backing up? How long was it under water? Can you take a picture? I would gut it and wash it to get rid of anything the water carried and then dry i…

I remember watching the video of Steve Jobs saying that they had to eliminate all the clones to get back to business. But that hasn't stopped me :0 I Hackintoshed my MSI Wind.

Looks awesome; one day I'd like to do a project as hefty as that. Also, props for running Mac Hut.

If it was flood-water, chances are that the water wasn't clean. That means trouble. I would suggest pulling the whole thing apart. Pull out the socketed chips too, just record w…

Yep, I kept my Mac II going great for years, temporarily had it on my basement floor and it flooded. Completely submerged the Mac II and likely some of the monitor as well. Cables …

Good work, looks like fun

I started the restoration of the Macintosh SE today. It had been sitting with its cover off for a week, and had been sitting for a week before that. Today I made my CRT discharge t…

Some crystal clear closeup photos of this EPROM would be nice (preferrably by a camera mounted on a tripod, set to the lowest possible ISO setting).

There may have bee an early batch of LC II's that were, but all of the ones that I've seen don't have the panel cut out for it. LC II LC

For some reason I was under the impression the LC 2 also could do dual floppies. Anyway in that case I can see a LC 1 being interesting just for dual floppies and you should skip …

I am decent at soldering, but I would rather keep it original looking, but thanks for that info and I guess the LC III would be a better system to go for looking at them the only c…
