    A Tale of Two Classics

    I removed the R88-R90 and saw the VIAs were completely gone. I did not have any donor boards that had the correct size SMDs, so I used conventional through hole. Using the other leg on the top to join into existing traces. Same with some bodge wires from bottom to top. Lots of the VIAs had...

    A Tale of Two Classics

    I pulled the CNY17G from this board 630-0395 (left) and the one from the damaged 630-0525 board (right). They are different versions. Installed the CNY75GB into the 0395 board, and now I get a solid image. Now I have to concentrate on the battery bombed motherboard. After using the dental...

    A Tale of Two Classics

    From the three bad analog boards I had, two were 630-0395 and one was 630-0525 (other components missing or damaged). I ordered two cap kits from Console5, one for each type of board. The first 0395 board I recapped worked great. Then after looking at all the damage on the 0525, I decided I...

    Has anyone tried the Green or Amber conversion on a Macintosh Classic?

    Like the title, I saw this video. And I just searched the forums and found @jcm-1 did it here. Although I would not do this to a //c monitor, I did recently find an old 1984 IBM 8088 clone for cheap. I haven't powered it on yet to verify the tube is working, but from searching the internet, it...

    A Tale of Two Classics

    I received my two analog board cap kits from Console 5 a while ago, but I have been buried in other projects. Finally had the time to dig into the Battery Bombed analog board. The backside was quite goopy. Then I removed all the caps. Not sure if I lifted that pad or it was too far gone...

    Custom USB-C powered 8"display for the Apple IIc with STL files and build plan

    Just an update... I did get my CR10 working now, but I still need a little fine tuning before I run a bunch of Platinum PLA through it. This is the 9.7" iPad 1st Gen version of this build. I made the screw holes very tiny as they have very tiny machine screws holding it into an iPad frame. I...

    Best monitor for vintage Macintosh

    So if you don't use the adapter and directly connect your monitor and VGA cable to the VGA output on the KVM, you get nothing? One guess is that each computer is trying to detect the attached monitor and it is not getting the correct signals. I wonder what it would look like if each computer...

    Best monitor for vintage Macintosh

    Looks to me like a shielding issue. Poorly shielded cables or something internal to the KVM box is letting signals hop/bleed. When you hook the monitor directly to the computer, do you see the same ghosting?

    How to Free Up Space on Mac?

    1. Do you have multiple applications open? Close some and then see if it will save. 2. Do you collect unimportant stuff? Delete some of it and empty the trash. 3. Clear browser cache. 4. Do you have any removable media (hard drive, USB stick) or cloud storage options? Offload some documents...

    Cracked Hinge on Mac Portable

    Just double layer it with offset halfway (bad Photoshop example).
