Oh, okay. Guess I was wrong about the C1 being replaced. Since it didn't look like the other capacitors, I just assumed it was a replacement made by some other company...oh well.…

If MacPlayMate is simply a runtime engine for Comic Works or Video Works or whatever, there's an opportunity for fun. Click to expand... It is, for VideoWorks. And it is fun… …

That C1 is the same exact C1 cap used in some of my newer "stock condition" analog boards, all with factory hot-glue applied: 630-0102-E 661-0462 And here is an unmodif…

I just realized, How fitting, LCGuy got himself an LC! Hahahahha

Well personally, I prefer auto-inject drives, the way they grab the disk from you. With manual inject you have to pretty much shove the disk right down the thing's throat, which is…

You mean manual-inject? Nah, later production run LCIIs and LCIIIs had manual-inject floppy drives as well. My very first LCIII was built in October 1993 and has a manual-inject dr…

It was in an auction...I ended up getting the machine and parts for $15 all up...then $18 to get it shipped up from Sydney...yay for Australia Post. As for official Apple RAM...it…

Damn, those official Apple RAM sticks are cool. I've never seen one (not in 72-pin form at least) Anyways, nice score! How much did everything cost?

I really though that the LC III's had a non sculpted floppy! I thought it was only the LC475!!!

About a week back I bought an LCIII and some other bits off a member on an Australian Mac forum I go on. Came through today, here's what I got: - LCIII (manual inject), haven't po…

Hahahah. Very nice.

really the main point of hot glue is to hold the larger / top heavy components in place as they scurry down a convener belt during assembly Secondary it provides a little bit of p…

Under 18s: please move on. Mike Saenz wrote the ever entertaining MacPlayMate and Wikipedia associates him with authorship of Comic Works. My twenty year old recollection of MacPl…

Using hot glue is advised if the computer is going to experience a lot of vibration. In an ordinary home desktop environment, it's unlikely that you'll need to use glue. I have a f…

Should we hot glue replacement components? Capacitors vibrate but does the glue make any difference to life span?

Oxidation, nothing, that's corrosion, and it looks like something got spilled on the board. How can you tell that C1 has been replaced? Looks to me like the original factory hot g…

Hi, Just opened my Macintosh Plus to give it a quick check-over, to make sure that no components have blatantly malfunctioned. Generally, it looks okay on the interior: { …

QT 1.5 was the first to support Cinepak, I believe, but I'm not sure if I have it. I definitely have 2 and above, so I will just have to fire up my old Plus and see if anything use…

Sooooooo ... which version of QT added 68000 support? Or was this yet another unfulfilled promise of Apple's, when they realized there was no point? Click to expand... It was i…

It'd probably be worth more if it still has the original letter from Woz.

A decent solution may be to use the SlideShow program from Kid Pix. You'll need either Kid Pix 2 or Kid Pix Companion. I'm not sure if the program itself can run on a 1MB machine s…

Did you know that the Mac II chord is also the first chord in "Norwegian Wood"? Now, if only it played the rest of the song!

Yes, some.
