If you’re interested, I also make a version of my LCD-CC conversion that is dedicated to whoever wants to build a Takky from scratch, i.e. has still a stock Color Classic and has not yet modified it in any way. my mod allows to use an almost unmodified 630 harness (Basically, no flat cable...

It is however very interesting to see what Apple Original design was. This is the connector location on the AB It is connected to the first TDA audio amp IC (you can see the footprint) that mates with this header on the electronics cage: and from there obviously to a twisted pair that went to...

Well, in any case the speaker was supposed to be there and even the location of the audio out on the analog board is right above the speaker original location. Then something happened - and it’s not because apple stopped making those loudspeakers since the same design continued well into PowerPC...

And if you’re like me, and get fed up with the CRT thing, just sell to a purist the AB and CRT. Everybody wins!

That is exactly right. I came to terms with this years ago when the flyback of my CC fizzled out. There were polkadotted AB for sale at like 250$ which is absurd. so I started thinking how to allow more AB and the solution came with this kit - took me 5 years but it’s here now! And the nice...

Well, we do offer the VGA ID MON setting, so possibly it could work. I am not home so I cannot test it but I’ll ask Daan about it…

OK JDW, I can answer some of these and I'll let Daan answer the LCD related ones as he's looking into that. 1. Is the BRIGHTNESS on your LCD adjustable by software or by the CC's front brightness buttons as is true of the stock CRT? As the stock kit goes no; simply because the display is...

Just to remind everyone, this kit is for sale. Please check the trading post!

Hi! I actually made a post a couple years back about this - on another forum - and, really, the speaker the Color Classic frame is designed to accept is the one from the 650, which I then believe is the same the 575 uses. However, after a lot of digging, it turns out that the magnet of the...

So here's a pic with the present CC-LCD kit. It is the kit with LCD Display and frame plus mounting hardware, an analog board for the Color Classic, and all accessories.

As for your "next question", we had a LOT of luck in the early stages of design where we found a cache of 20-25 NIB 800x600 LCD displays that costed us a bargain price. I had decided for this display as it is compatible with the Takky, being 800x600 and also 8.2" so that it fills neatly all the...

Hi JDW. OK, I have developed two analog board replacements - and they are both available at this time. The LCD kit is separate and is the same for all kits. The CC-LCD kit is the one that works on every Color Classic. This is the one to order if all you want to do is replace your CRT with a LCD...

And, JDW, that is incorrect. The CC-LCD kit supports ANY CRT BASED MACHINE EVER BUILT. including Takkys built following the guides available online that use the CRT. The only other use case is: I have in a recently purchased color classic a burned analog board, and maybe a bombed logic board. So...

Hi guys! Me and Daan are the original designers of this kit. So, here are some in depth details. There are indeed two analog board designs, one was developed to make building a Takky project as streamlined and easy as possible, using the 630/6200 harness "as is" instead of having to rewire the...

This makes the whole project even more interesting! The LCD in a CC will be compatible with LBs from the CC, CCII, 520, 550 and 575 - all with display resolution of 640x480! The 575 may also get 800x600 with this design. need to place a couple jumpers to set resolutions and it’s going to be great.
