One man’s trash is another’s treasure. Would love to have run into that pickup. My first vintage Mac was a quicksilver I picked up back in 2014 from someone’s Sunday trash pile. Worked then and works now. Runs Q3A like a champ. Nice pickup!

I agree this looks repairable to me. In addition to supergluing the bits together, a couple layers of epoxy on the interior seam of the glued crack will help to keep them secure. This has always worked well for me on repairs where the plastic will not see any flexing ie: side panels, face plates...

Got the uppers hung & I realized quickly how not square the kitchen soffit is when trying to hang square cabinetry in it lol. Anyhow got it done. It has been an absolute struggle to get the butcher block counter wood in. Paid for but the supply chain for it is all screwed up and has taken...

Hah! Wrong month lol. Puting it in my calendar. See you then.

How did this go? I was hoping to go but my kids got sick just in time for Easter lol (Murphys law). Anyhow, hope it went well for you.

Dos Dude's discord lite works well on vintage macintosh. I run it on my Leopard PowerPC macs daily. Per his github, it works on old and modern macs alike, although admitingly I have utilized his app to bring discord to my PPC macs only, so nothing Intel at this point as my earliest late 2008...

Which G5?

Sounds like a fun time but am around 2000 miles away so will miss it. Hopefully some of the hamfests closer to me open back up post-Covid. Have fun.

Kentucky is a beautiful place. Congrats. 🙂 love the huge space. You are now beholden to fill every inch with vintage computers.

Coolest thing eh? So handy and so lame that Apple dropped it but whatevs that’s why I play with PowerPC macs.

Finished boxing in the dumbwaiter & building the sheet pan box, installed the new trim, toe kick and had the new fridge show up. Getting the fridge in was a pita to get up the back stairs (this home is a 1970s split level design w/ three levels and the kitchen is in the middle up about 10...

That is the BIGGEST haul I’ve ever seen. Best of luck moving it all. Lots of cool boxes & peripherals in there for sure. 🙂

Ahh man that was hard. I can definitely tell you that I enjoyed the the SB clone because of its almost square-wave-esque mid-punch quality. It just sounded really neat in comparison to the others. Of the other two ... I think the Roland as the audio out was very flat in response. There doesnt...

So I started framing in the bottom cabinets, taking care to keep that front edge plumb for the counter top. That dumb waiter was a PITA lol. Despite shimming up the new subfloor, it still has a shift down along the interior wall. The home itself is just shy of 50 years old, and has settled...

My guess is some sort of privacy shield.

Wow, that is fantastic Drake. I really like how it can be swung up and out of the way. That is a very nice & pragmatic pro-desk space design. Spot any Fixies yet?

Finished the floor. I am done with floors for a while - not a fan lol. Transition into the kitchen went well. Cutting out the vent was a pita but got it done. I am sore and am very glad this stage is over.

Another productive Saturday spent on my knees. Dropped the new OSB subfloor. I ended up shimming under where the original subfloor had sunken down - came out very well and sets me up for a clean transition from dining room to kitchen when I drop the final floor tomorrow. The 500+ screws that...

Very cool. Your hair clip reminds me of Walle's cockroach buddy.
