Thanks for the advice. What's the best way to get the analog board out without killing myself?

A solder sucker/desoldering braid isn't really necessary. A bit of solder wick placed over the solder and then heated up does the same thing - and for a lot less money.

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

If you've never done any soldering before, I suggest you practice on an old junk board before taking to your Mac Plus board. It's very easy to apply too much heat for too long and…

to do it right you should remove and re apply fresh solder (and flux) if you just reflow you are adding alot of old oxidization and contamination to the joint, and it probably wil…

This thread deserves more photos... My "Redneck Repair" to the hard disk. Simple enough, when there's nothing to secure the drive in... improvise! In the great war that us 68k Mac…

Okay, I've read the famous PDF about classic mac procedures, and I'm pretty sure I need to fix the solder connections on the J1 connector. I'm a little unclear on exactly what to d…

Wow Great conquest! I love the Screen bezels on the 128/512k/plus. It looks like a tuxedo for some reason to me

I did this quite a few months ago with same setup (Classic and a IIgs). Amusing, yes, but it's easier just to use a disk with AppleShare and put the Finder on the Classic, IMO.

Macintosh SE is together and running System 7.1, although i'd like to get System 6 running on there eventually. Macintosh 512k unfortunately now doesn't want to start at all. This…

All you need is.... Appleshare 3 Remote boot a IIgs over localtalk from a performa. I still have the software, but my IIgs and other stuff got stolen

next time that happens , run your finger along the top case of the TiBook. I have one that spazzes out every so often, and then with one finger running down the back of it, it'll s…

From memory the 750/750AV fixed a lot of the problems with the 1710/1710AV, and had an updated CRT with a slightly better dot pitch.

With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays. Click to expand... It appears …

The 7200's were never popular and if I remember correctly(which could be wrong) they had some serious QC issues and bugs in the design. You are a brave man for trying to upgrade a …

What I mean to say is, I got it running and everything, but I could not get it to connect to the G3. So, I found another program called DCOM which worked just fine.

You couldn't get it working? I did. You will need to manipulate the SHK's on Cidepress according to the manual's instructions for file placement. When I get home I could send you s…
