we used to take 409 and pour it in a new spray bottle with about 25% rubbing alcohol in it back when I worked at a compaq refurb house ... anyway kills the foaming action that happ…

Sounds good to me. Thanks for your input.

It doesn't damage the plastic in any way? Click to expand... If you knew me better, while reflecting on my previous comment about having used 409 to clean Mac plastics since 19…

It doesn't damage the plastic in any way?

I am giving my Newton MP 2100 to a friend and I want to remove any and all personal data on it beforehand. Is there an easy way to reset it back to factory settings/data. I do no…

Liberation in hostile territory - nice work.

Great "iMac" Find :lol:

Congrats, even thought the guy was kind of a ****head himself! Without motivating myself to go downstairs and turn on one of my compact Mac's, I believe the occasional "static pip…

I''ve found 409 to work on any plastic surface. The dirtier it is, the longer you simply need to leave the 409 on it. I've even used 409 on wooden tables that have pen marks (bal…

I'll have to try 409 sometime. Would it work on the plastic of a slot-loading iMac as well?

I will give you my advise from my experience. My first Mac was a 128k purchased in January 1984. I upgraded and continued using that box until I purchased a Mac IIvx in 1993. I …

I'm quite glad I listened to my inner voice that said not to use the magic eraser on the Mac. I never realized they were such a powerful tool. The spongelike appearance is deceptiv…

Yup, the extruded melamine acts as a mild abrasive. It will clean hard to clean spots, but you do need to use care.

Gotta be careful with the magic erasers as they will abrade the plastic and smooth it if it has a textured surface. Magic Erasers will also remove the printed name from the case i…

I've used Magic Erasers with pretty good success.

GOO GONE, its a citrus type of adhesive remover quite safe for plastics, however there is a product by a similar name called goop off, and that stuff will eat plastic like mad, so …

Eucalyptus oil is supposed to be good for sticker residue

Dude, I would highly recommend the Retr0brite. Its awesome!! All my Classic Macs are white now! Get Clairol Pro 40 cream developer and a brush. Clean the case well with Simple…

I'd like to clean the case on my classic II, what is the recommended procedure for doing so? It's mostly just grimy, but it does have 4 distinct areas where apparently old Apple s…

Answer is NOPE. It looked like it should fit, but it wouldn't sit flush with the case. Oh well.

I kno ive been soo busy i havent been able to be on in forever!

The only way to know is if you try and attach it to the side of your SE/30. If you run into even the slightest resistance, it won't fit. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:
