Whenever I'm taking out screws, I lay them down on a piece of paper in roughly the arrangement they came out, and write and draw around them to make things clearer where they go ba…

Yes thanks to you trag I resurrected three wonderful Macs (2 x SE/30s - both sadly have other IC problems though), and an 840AV. Out of interest - I've noticed many "high end" Mac…

Thats cool, I probably used over 100 electrolytic caps myself so far this year.

Keep up the great work to you, trag! Without you, I would not have performed such a beautiful SMD cap-replacement as shown here.

I might be able to provide a donor Wallstreet, if you're interested. I'm not sure what I have on hand, but I have more than one in various states of nonfunctionality and it would b…

Gott im Himmel! It's not worth real money, is it? And mine looks almost new. Click to expand... That seller's pricing policy has attracted comment before. In the new-look comm…

Well I got it to boot once... ...I had a Sonnet Crescendo G3 in there that seemed to be one cause of the problem. I also had to switch between the 2 SCSI connectors on the Logic B…

That's a shame - was the plastic around the hinge damaged too? Hopefully you can find a donor WSII/PDQ and transplant a new hinge on. Must have been a hefty fall - these machines…

Wallstreets have a bad hinge design, many died years ago from broken hinges that took out the video cable, and many these days have atleast one bad hinge that keeps the display fro…

Since you have had and eventually will have it open again, could you please add some observations here?viewtopic.php?f=21&t=11280 Click to expand... Sure! When I have it …

After months of lusting for one, I finally got my mitts on the last of the ADB PowerBooks. It's the 300MHz model and the lot came with plenty of extras: DVD drive w/card, Wireless …

The II and IIfx do need a working battery. In these old machines, the battery actually closes a relay in the power supply to turn 'em on. A Kensington or other fan will do a lot t…

That Sawtooth is a good solid box. Most of them can be OC'd to 550MHz or more, and with a fast G4 upgrade and a video card upgrade, will do 720p HD video. Check to see which versio…

Does it work with standard HFS or do I need a dedicated "Plus" scsi drive formatted differently? Click to expand... Depends on the drive and the utility that was used to format…

using some of the lower System versions (say, System 3, with which it shipped, I gather) with an external scsi hard drive? Does it work with standard HFS Click to expand... Sin…

Great news! I'll be getting a set for my Classic II at some stage too. I haven't opened it yet to see what the inside story looks like.

I was going to mention the Plus's lack of internal termination, but LCGuy beat me to it. Try to use a short SCSI cable to the first external device and made sure that the device n…

This week I finished off my first reel of 500 47uF tantalum capacitors. Woohoo. I haven't been keeping records so I'm not sure exactly how many old Mac logic boards repaired tha…

If you're going to use the hard drive with the Plus exclusively, you're best to format it with an interleave of 3:1, which you can do in Hard Disk Toolkit, or I'd imagine most 3rd …

The donor has found the keyboard, which I can collect tomorrow. There is ein Gott im Himmel, evidently.

As reported over on Conquests, I just have acquired my oldest Macintosh yet, a nice-looking Plus. Having (ahem) a plethora of peripherals in the perimeter of the Plus, I think I m…

hard drive: free, 256mb of memory: free, receiving a free computer for setting up a computer for some one: priceless

well today i got a new computer.....its a G4 "SawTooth"!!!!! here are the specs: 450mhz G4 768mb of ram 18gb hd and it will soon be running 9.2.2 or mac os x server :beige:

Sometimes keyboards just do that. I had a Dell keyboard a few years back, and the b, n, m, comma and space bar all went out at the same time. The day that happened (prior to the cr…
