I've got a few things to do myself and recapping is one of them. I'd gladly send them out to uniserver if I didn't have many. I want to learn for myself anyway to continue in this hobby. I love fixing broken things. There's also a laundry list of things to do (sorry, it's not all 68k) but this is off the top of my head.

Recap:

- 2 Macintosh Portable 5120 - one no sounds, the other no boot.

- Mac SE/30 - no sound

- Mac Classic II - no sound

- Mac SE - bars or some such pattern (it's been a while)

- Mac Plus - wobbly screen

- Mac Color Classic - intermittent sound

- Lisa Profile power supply - smoked it

- Lisa 1.8w power supply - smoked it

- NeXT Cube Optical Drive - need analog board recap (to hopefully fix)

Not sure what to do:

- NeXT N4006 monitor shuts down on start up - bought 13w3 to VGA connector to move beyond this

Reassemble:

- Amiga 1200 - rebuild CF card, put in new case

- NeXT Cube - sand, paint, put back together.

- NeXT Color Turbo - waiting for 13w3 to VGA connector to try for first time and put in hard drive and install OS

- Commodore PET 4032 - resolder piezo buzzer for speaker

- McGuyer a hard drive into the Mac SE

- find and install an original 400k drive for the original Mac

Try:

- Commodore PET 2001 Chicklet - try 4040 floppy drive and PET SD

- HD20 drive on Mac 512ke (should work)

- IBM 5150 on Commodore 1082 monitor (CGA) and test

- SCSI hard drive on Lisa

- Install the rest of the OSes on Lisa X/Profile

- Figure out how to create Osborne boot disks and try the Osborne 1

Keep lookout for:

- 400k drive for the original Mac at a reasonable price

- original ROM for the original Mac

- Hard Disk 20SC for Mac Plus

- 16Mb x 8 30 pin simm memory for SE/30

- 8MB x 8 72 pin FPM simm memory for NeXT Color Turbo

- IBM 5170 AT (my first real computer)

- PCMCIA CF card reader for Amiga 1200

- Amiga 1200 Accelerator card

- NeXT color monitor?

- Lisa SunRem brackets for 20MB MFM set up

- IBM 5153 monitor

Todo:

- take some pictures and create website
