Not the cheapest price, but not bad and you’d get some other spare parts. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DfxKSh2QR/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I've been fighting with a 550 that worked just fine a few years ago and then last year when I went to power it on, it does not boot. I get the power LED, fan, some sounds from the SCSI HD, but no picture or boot chime. I recapped and cleaned the board, same issue. I tested a known good Color...

Got the screws and nylon washers in. I was able to get it to work, but I think using socket head cap screws made it harder. Basically, I had to insert the knobs in their holder with the hex key not fully pressed in, then rotate the knob while pushing the hex key in with tweezers until it was...

I assume you're talking about the resin case being in sunlight? I've heard of yellowing of resin prints. I'm likely to try to paint it when I have it all set up and mostly working. I've read that there are some almond colored spray paints that do a good job of matching the IIc color. (e.g...

Got my replacement case parts optimized for resin. with the updated orientation for the hex key, It's the original front case with the glue / press in slot for the nut on the hinge, so we'll see how it holds up and I may reprint just the front if the superglued nut doesn't withstand the stress...

Might be worth trying to at least confirm that the ground pins are where the schema expects them to be. Would at least increase the confidence level a bit.

Could you clip the arms off the connector so you could insert it the proper way? Of course, that assumes all the pins are actually the same and its not a whole new pin layout... Obviously that only works if you can find a new logic board, and verify nothing in the LCD was also fried.

As part of the massive barn haul I picked up last year, there was a Dell CRT that had a Trinitron tube in it, but had no power button and the base was missing. The monitor looks like it was designed to be used with or without the base, so I decided not to try to replace the base. But having...

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...
