what have you attempted, thing with most commercial soldering jobs is that it is soldered on both sides of the board, as the holes are lined with copper or tin and it is risky biz …

I have been wanting to modify an Asante SE/30 ethernet adapter card to remove the stock pass-through connector and replace it with a right-angled connector. My attempts so far hav…

I am trying to bring a Performa 200/M4150/Macintosh classic ii back to life. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", …

Digikey's 3.9uF cap worked great. Last time C1 blew, I just swapped analog boards. This time I repaired the original analog board by replacing C1 with the Digikey cap, swapped th…

I'd give them a call, that website looks as dodgy as hell (the "about us" doesn't even work). Unless you can confirm the place actually exists and has items in stock, beware. JB

Looks like they don't overcharge for shipping either. I'm getting a $7.50 shipping quote by mail to Australia for a Lombard DC/Sound board. Nice find!

It does sound like a dried out solder joint, somewhere in the red line. If it was a dying gun I wouldn't expect it to be intermittent at first. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/monfa…

Had a similar issue - fixed by resoldering the cables going to the analogue board to the PCB plugged into the back of the tube. JB

The screen of my Color Classic would intermittently go off color - as in the red would become greenish and so on. It was intermittent a few weeks ago, now it seems to be off color…

I just want to point out in answer to the question in my original post, one should not attempt to use a normal 4uF electrolytic (polarized) cap in place of C1. C1 is a bipolar cap…

It is surely going to be as safe as any online store, and it's likely safer than going the eBay route, but as it's only a hard drive cable, how much do you stand to lose?

Replacing C1 fixes one of the major problems with the earliest analog boards, but replacing only that cap won't solve other problems created by other caps that are either weak or d…

Thanks Phreakout! I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick. While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method …

Interesting. Huh. Just for kicks, try rebooting again, but this time hold down the Shift key. This will prevent any extensions or the like from loading. If this doesn't wor…

OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news. The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully…

No, the issue at hand is that you're not supposed to change that extension (even if it seems as small as image. to img. no matter what. phreakout's suggestion is very good (I forg…

Dita, did you say earlier you have a Mac Classic, recently acquired? If so, is it a Classic 1 or Classic 2? If it's a Classic 1, then try the following: Step 1: Restart the Cla…

I must admit that I've not yet seen the same amount of "leaking" Click to expand... heh from that era I bet they are "sealed" vs newer ones are safety vented, I wonder how many…

If I were set in changing C1 and only C1, it would not matter to me if the price was even $6 total, if that including shipping to me in Japan. Perhaps it would be more desirab…

That was a thought I had, but JLW's original instructions stated that PC floppies are fine, so I never changed the formatting.

I formatted the a floppy as a 1.44 MB FAT disk Click to expand... I don't believe you will be able to use a FAT formatted floppy as a boot disk. It must be formatted HFS.
