Finally got a chance to put the other cap on the keyboard. Unfortuately it took 3 or 4 areassembly attempts of the keyboard to get it assembled and all keys working (it's a membrane KB and there was something, a crumb maybe, under the where the D key that was causing it not work after...

Are you taking about something like helical inserts? https://a.co/d/7kPyx3O If the resin material is brittle, would this helical coils not break the tiny threads it creates when it is inserted? it feels like the pressure needed to keep this display upright shouldn’t be too much and so I feel...

Yeah, I am hoping a liberal amount of superglue will hold as well as an insert. Alternatively, a longer screw with a nut that could be inserted into a notch in the hinge area so it is pulling against the printed part, as opposed to requiring glue to hold? I am impatient so I sent off the...

OK, I was able to take the keyboard apart and the Caps were in very bad shape. I got them removed, but don't have a 2.2uF 50v cap on hand, so it will have to wait. Tip for anyone disassembling a IBM M2 keyboard, remove all the keycaps, then while unclipping the plastic tabs that were...

I recently picked up an Apple IIgs that I had to drive a little bit aways for. And I noticed on FB Marketplace that there was a nice looking IBM PS/1 machine that was listed right on my drive back from picking up the IIgs. I messaged the person who had the listing and it was going to be part...

I took your parts and modified them a bit for resin printing. I twisted the hex pattern in the knob to allow the hex key to fit and bend into the notch. I also added a hex inset in the front bezel to accept a m4 hex nut glued in (instead of melted). I also changed the two screw towers (not...

Both at ROM 01 machines, so no real advantage there. I need to read more up on the accelerator - I suspect it will benefit running GSOS more than games. I believe this accelerator was either 8MHz or 10MHz, so any game relying on clock speed will be unplayable unless it's a turn-by-turn based...

The hex profile for the hote worked great, except for the fact that the slot doesn't align with the elbow. If you could rotate it a bit to have the flat edge of the hexagon be aligned with the slot. Then you wouldn't need to drill out the hole at all.

It was a little over $40, but $18 of that was shipping to the US. Normally I can get my parts shipped for less than $5, but since these were bigger, it increased the shipping costs substantially. I'm hoping I can get my new back plate and knob + knob fillers for cheaper. I agree on the...

Well, the main reason I got it was the keyboard, and while the machine itself is not working at the moment, I finally got a beautiful Apple Desktop Bus Keyboard. It cleaned up very nice. :

I don't think the list price is actually 50k. He even states the ebay prices add up to $22k. As others have said, it's probably worth more in the $5-8k range, to the right buyer. But it would be someone willing to put in the work to sell each item individually. Because looking at his "used...

Finally got around to disassembling the Eyoyo LCD. Things make a lot more sense after seeing the parts from the LCD and your prints together, after removing the support post. I tried using the existing mounting bracket to secure the LCD and it worked, but then I discovered the likely reason...

Yeah, this one has a very nice case that I will likely use a s my keeper machine. I put the accelerator into my existing machine and it seems to speed things up, although I can’t remember if the IIgs already ran Apple II games too fast. It definitely was too fast to be playable when I ran...

Awesome! That you so much for the reply. And that separate spot clearly is the perfect size for the usb-c trigger board. I should have figured that out. Thanks again for the explanation and for all the work you put into this! Is there an additional small piece that goes into the slot in...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Yes, not startup sound at all. And won’t go into self test mode. I cleaned the board and replaced 4 caps that I had replacements for on hand. No change. I pulled out my known working IIgs and decided to confirm the ROM and CPU accelerator were working, and...
