That's why I want the one I'm owed, it's the 17" OS9 compatible model.

These are technically things I acquired in 2014 but I've only gotten a chance to start playing with them recently. First off, picked up an iMac G4 mostly so I could have a fast OS…

Bad solder joints. There's a thread somewhere on here about that problem with some photos of which ones you'll want to freshen up.

Yeah they look like platinum, one is slightly yellowed. Also, one of them I sometimes need to smack a couple of times to get the crt on. Any ideas what the problem is? Just a loose…

Even more impressive is that you got two keyboards and two external hard drives!! Are they both platinum?

Well done! That's what I call a good trade!

haha outstanding!!!! now all you need to do is get over and pick you up a Floppy Emu/HD20 Emu and a 1meg Re-Writeable rom disk kit. http://www.bigmessowires.com/macintosh-floppy…

Indeed! Good job! c

Nice trade.

I traded a PM G5 I had for two full 4MB Mac Plus systems with someone on craigslist. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Pr…

" i don't have any brittle plastic issues with any of my power book 140 - 5xx " Ohhh don't worry,  its inevitable.  

Someone should start a business making and selling new replacement parts for old machines (like cases and fly back transformers). Someone is already making the floppy drive gears, …

One more: what's the line filter capacitor voltage? It just says 47uF, I don't see a voltage. I am guessing it's 250V?

You can get a 20a max multimeter at harbor freight for a couple bucks, Mallet works good with portable battery packs as well !

More questions, and my $.02: My multimeter has a milliamps up to 200mA, so I might have to go get an extra analog one, plus it won't even give me mA reading on a battery. My multi…
