I've never delved very deep into an InstaTower before, but I'd imagine that if nothing else, there'd be an amplifier in there, since not only is there a knob on the back for adjust…

Since when does being interested in vintage Macs require a degree in computer programming? I'm not frightened, just have no interest in it. There are many folks on these forums who…
