It's supposed to be in perfect working order, and that's got to be worth something.

:lol:

Cool! Thanks for all the info... Very interesting... I'll get the soldering iron out, and try not to ruin anything!

Looks pretty nice, not too terribly yellowed.. though for $110 I'd want more than a 30MB HDD and 8MB RAM.

8-o :lol:

You had better be sure that you make good use of that Mac Classic II! You'll have to use it for something useful, every day, to make up for that price!

You seriously paid $110 for a yellowed Classic II? Oh dear...

$110? Click to expand... I picked up a Classic II yesterday for $3 at a church rummage sale. Click to expand... pwnt

$110?

The iBooks are always interesting; they take beatings well enough, which is good because they're such a horror to get into. Great score, hopefully you can get the little bugger go…

I have a ton of iBook Parts. Good Conquest! I assume its the 500MHZ Version.

Thank you for the photo. There are a number of differences between the older and newer boards, so one need not be worried about the green wire soldered to the Xtal. Such wires ju…

Get an old toothbrush and some soap and see if they scrub off.

I dark green on the pins of a few chips behind the serial ports, as well as blue/green on the chip directly next to the internal floppy port. Actually, I just looked at it, many ra…

The only dead motherboard I cannot revive (so far) by replacing capacitors is one from an 840av that has some gook under important chips. I can't tell from your picture how much co…

Well, after a through cleaning/drying to see if I can get it to boot temporarily it still does the same. I'm thinking even if I replace the capacitors that it will still be dead be…

Just whatever you do, dont do what I did. xx( :'(

Does anyone on here re-cap Classic analog boards? I've got several that could use it.

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…
