That anode cap is indeed a pain to remove. I usually use a small pair of pliers (from an eyeglass repair kit) to get the clip on one side pressed in and then use the pliers to remo…

Last night I opened my 512k to record all its capacitors (I think I've found a way around my worries about lead, so now I'll be ready to replace those capacitors!!! ). But anyw…

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

Yes, some.

Unfortunately the only reason I opened the case was to install a fan... and in the process of hooking up that fan I blew the fan and the fuses in quite a spectacular way. Click …

Would the keyboard, mouse, and monitor add any value to it?

I was willing to pay up to $40 for one. Now I might not get it. :'( Click to expand... If you're willing, and you want it, then go ahead. Just beware that you would likely b…

Really! 8-o I thought that they were worth a little more than that, considering that it's working. I was willing to pay up to $40 for one. Now I might not get it. :'( How…

About $10. Unless you're some sort of insane Apple-collecting freak, then God only knows how much it's "worth."

How much would a Apple 2GS Woz edition be worth with a 2.5" and 5.25" floppy drives and nice condition case? Thanks

Well I made some adjustments, including as suggested to the voltage, and here are the results. 1. When powering up the Mac from a Cold Start (such as turning it on after being …

Bad geometry can either be caused by the power supply or by the little magnets on the neck of the CRT. Since those magnets are a pain to work with, I'd suggest a power supply repai…

I call it the "Original Apple Mouse".

It''s a non-serial mouse because the phased motion detection and mouse button lines are all wired in parallel and doesn't plug into the serial ports. Also the pins that the signals…

The reason the mouse is often referred to correctly as the "serial" mouse is because Click to expand... .. it's a hangover from the IBM PC world which had serial, bus, PS/2 and…

It's not even a serial mouse, it takes the raw phased output from the opto-electrical motion detectors. Click to expand... Yes, but when distinguishing the two ... which is qui…

ADB is 100% incompatible with the serial mouse. Click to expand... It's not even a serial mouse, it takes the raw phased output from the opto-electrical motion detectors.

Yeah, I am trashing the mouse building idea. I am working out a deal with trag who is selling some New Platinum Plus Mice for 10$(including shipping). So It seems to me like the m…
