The "melting plastic" would be what's left of the worn out case feet I've come across a few PBs with this lately. Click to expand... Its a common issue with a lot of those …

My Mystic CC ran with the software hack rather than the 640x480 hack, as I did not want to destroy the analog board: with 36MB ram, a full 68040, a 1GB drive and MacOS8.1, however,…

Such machine can be rescued by cleaning and drying, probably with some losses concerning the harddisk drive. Never try to start a wet computer. Make sure the computer is disconne…

The funky ghosting and fadedness point to hardware, not software. If you plug it in to an external monitor, does it work? Click to expand... I haven't a clue. I don't have an e…

I just recapped my Classic II, a bit of a pain because everything is cramped but doable. You need 3 different values, maybe 13 total aluminium capacitors going from memory.

The LC575 takes 72 pin SIMMs, officially any size from 1MB to 32MB, unofficially, up to 128MB. They can be found for sale on eBay, on here, and inside Pentium 1 and late 486 era PC…

My reply is in the other topic you made about this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10556

Needs a proper restoration. Replace all caps on logicboard and analog board if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, let a professional do the recap for you. Also, read this: h…

I picked up a Classic II yesterday for $3 at a church rummage sale. Today I finally got the chance to power it on and check it out. Unfortunately I was greeted with this: Upon f…

You need Trackpad Climate Control. Works wonders.

Finally made another trip over and got the following: boxed MacAlly multi-port adapter (lets you use several serial devices on one serial port) untested Duo Type 3 battery w/case…

Here is a really nice Macintosh LC II with max RAM/VRAM and a Sonnet Presto Plus w/ethernet and FPU. Fair price for what you're getting too. Link Click to expand... The BIN is a …

Yep, just water from the basement drain backing up (ground water from around the house). I think it was under water less than 10 hours - not sure since I wasn't home when it happe…

It's nice to know that masochism and sarcasm are still alive in this world. Are there any unique features to 7.5.2 that didn't make it to 7.5.5, besides endless crashing?

Alright, so I have a nice PowerBook Duo 2300c here with OS 8.1 and 12 MB of RAM, and for my first Duo, I really like it. It does have one issue though; the trackpad acts up, so the…

Apple is semi unique in the fact that they do control their own market (in a royal pita 1980's way) but I often wonder about "the man" and his choices Imagine a world in which app…

I'm curious about this Silenx fan. I've seen SEs with various fans (DC Pico Ace, Elina Fan, the notorious "rat cage") but have never seen one of these in a stock SE. Of those three…

Even more amazing, after the Apple Product Manager finishes talking about how stable, fast, and modern the new PCI Macs are, I got a bomb error. Yes, on the hardware demo, I got a…

Just water from the storm drain backing up? How long was it under water? Can you take a picture? I would gut it and wash it to get rid of anything the water carried and then dry i…

This is indeed the best OS ever. Click to expand... I certainly focusses your attention while using it. I'm at a loss to explain why they needed a 7.5.3.
