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 …

You can avoid the CRT altogether if you're just working on the logic board. You won't need to remove the CRT or the analog board to access it. I don't normally discharge my CRTs. …

I have a Raius 81/110 (no 8100), that case would damage the sledge! Oddly enough the 6100 seems to be ok and of the same vintage (7100 is mostly metal). I swear the 8500 and 9500 …

You need to be more careful. I have been in and out of a 8500 so many times (same with an Q800/840AV) I can get to RAM in a minute if that.If I took a sledgehammer to a 8500 it wou…

Just for completeness sake...when the Kansas/MachV machines came out, Apple kept the nice 8600 and 9600 case and kept the x600 power supply pinout, but changed the motherboard agai…

Nah. I have a Macintosh Plus with a dead battery also, and the only noticeable effect is that the date/time reverts to something like 1/1/1904 at 12:00 am every time I turn it on.…
