If you are not replacing components, then you don't really need to remove the analog board if you're just doing a bit of simple soldering. You have access to all the joints like it…

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…

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

the very left edge looks like it has the slightest of slight amber colour, but it is almost unnoticable everything else seems great with it.

Congratulations, a great deal! How's the color, any shift toward amber around the edges? I picked one up several years ago to upgrade the 15" version I started my parent's out with…

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 …

The Duos can use a normal PowerBook G3/iBook Clamshell/PB 1400/2300/3400/Duo adapter, so they're easy to find. There are tons of generic ones on eBay for about $12 shipped.

Both the PBs are Duo 230s. No power cords, one is missing the trackball, but cosmetically not too bad other than some minor scuffing.
