Here's a puzzler — #1

A few weeks ago I got a 9600/300. It has a strange malady. When you power it up for the first time, it bongs but doesn't boot. When you turn it off and power it up a second time, i…

Changing an upgraded 512k back — #2

Yes the analogue board is the same. You need a 400K drive and ribbon cable (it can't use all 800K drive cables), a 512K logicboard with 64K ROMs, and of course a 512K bucket (with …

512ke rare? — #7

Well, nice try, but I wouldn't take these theories to the bank just yet. First the 512Ke is not all that common. It replaced the low-end line about 4 months after the identical 51…

Need LC520 motherboard photo — #1

I found an LC520 motherboard and I need to replace the capacitors. Problem is, the markings on C9 have corroded off, so I can't tell what value it is. Does anyone have any high-res…

Changing an upgraded 512k back — #1

I found from decoding the serial of one of my Pluses that it started life as a 512k (not 512ke) and I was thinking of changing it back. It seems I can get everything but the case b…

512ke rare? — #6

I loath the term "rare" simply because the use of it is sadly not rare on EBAY. Put the "rare" label on it and you can deceive more buyers. Seriously. I hate that word. "Rare" …

512ke rare? — #5

Because those models are actually ridiculously common. The 512ke is in that strange place where it's definitely not "common", but it's not exactly "rare", either. Or, at least, it…

512ke rare? — #4

How does that theory account for all the Pluses, SE's, and Classics that are ALWAYS on ebay?

512ke rare? — #3

My guess would be that it's lack of rarity is why it's not appearing. Click to expand... Ditto.

Symbolics Macivory Quadra 650? — #3

It's a neat system, and I always loved Symbolics hardware. But that is a ridiculous asking price. They're not THAT rare (though I'd sure like to have one).

512ke rare? — #2

My guess would be that it's lack of rarity is why it's not appearing. People are more likely to sell a "rare" 128K than they are a less-rare model. Someone with a 128K is probabl…

512ke rare? — #1

Has anyone noticed how few 512ke's have been on ebay lately? There's been more 1984 Macintosh 128k's than 512ke's and there's been plenty of 512k's.

Static pips — #5

Remove the back housing, keep your eye the analog board in a dimly lit room, and flip the power switch. For truly, if you hear a "static" kind of sound, then you will likely see a…

This would have been so much cooler if he'd microwaved the plastics and rebuilt a working Mac into them. Hey now ...

Symbolics Macivory Quadra 650? — #2

It's a system with a true LISP coprocessor on NuBus cards. Incidentally, it can use a NuVista video card which is what the Avid system uses. http://fare.tunes.org/LispM.html
