Not using the internal speakers, no. You could always use some powered speakers from the 3.5" audio out jack. JB

Is there ANY other way to get it to work than replacing the caps?

bad caps can cause audio problems, course so could a blown in a perfect way speaker

Ok so I got my Mac Classic today and everything works on it (thank gosh) except for the speakers. You can barely hear them but you'd have to cram your head in the screen to hear it…

the fact that its been taken out of the box means that its no longer worth as much as it would have been NIB Click to expand... I don't think it would matter, or affect the pri…

There's a bid on it now at $130 + 45 ship, so looks like he's going to get his price...wow.

The datasheet says that the 88920 is for slower 20 - 25 MHz operating frequencies. And that the 88916 isn't suited for the slower speeds. Click to expand... Just curious - wh…

Ok so far no big losses. I guess I'll stick with my SE/30.

Magaroids will only work on a Mac 512KE and earlier. It won't even work on a Plus. I think that Arkanoid won't work on anything later than an SE (maybe a Classic).

Just as the opposite example. Missile Command is a game written in 1984 for the Mac 128k and System 1.0. It also runs on the latest Power Mac G3 system with OS 9.2.2.

Sounds like it was a slightly used/upgraded system and the seller found a mint box to stuff it in. If I was going to flip a shrinkwrapped item I would not open it.

I know for a fact Dinosaur Discovery Kit (from First Byte) doesn't work on SE/30s. This was explicitly stated in the third edition of the Macintosh Bible. (It supposedly only works…

Yes, shame he opened it to take the photos, but I guess he felt he had to, to post it. I would have just used a stock 1400 photo, I guess. Interesting that there's a wireless card…

Probably anything that didn't follow Apple's programming guidelines and made undocumented Toolbox calls and the like.

This may sound like a dumb question, but are there any classic Mac games that will run a 68000 Mac but not on the 68030 SE/30? I know the Atari Falcon (a 68030 machine) had all ki…

Ahh I wish it was cheaper and shipped to Canada. I'd love to get my hands on the complete unit. I have a few 1400s but none came with any of the original packaging...just the com…

I checked the fit of all the socketed items and they're all as tight as they can be. The RAM looks brand new and is also in tightly. I guess it's the capacitors then. I have an …

I have the exact same machine as that (1400c/166), and mine came new in box as well. Of course though, that was back in December 1997, when PowerBook 1400s were still being manufa…

Ditto Tom Lee's excellent advice. Moreover, it could be iffy fluid-filled capacitors as well. Heat does influence them.

The Plus should handle those ambient conditions ok. Perhaps you have poor connections that are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. Common culprits would be RAM, as we…

It dissapoints me he opened it. But with a brand new machine you can have vintage mac without the quirks used ones have!

I would almost feel bad using that machine if I snagged it. Probably why I stick with used working machines you can get for little or nothing. School systems do funny things with …
