DV means diode, and I think I see the Cathode line marking on the side closest to that DV11 silkscreen. Determining the type of diode and its part number is crucial for replacement. I see that @Mu0n has a nice photo here...

All of us who have done the 68.4V "VGA Mod" on our Mac Color Classic ANALOG BOARDS know that you must change the SENSE LINES, and that involves ISOLATING pin-25. I did that, along with @Branchus and @Kay K.M.Mods and countless other people through the years, and none of us have any problems...

@dramirez I have no idea what he was linking to originally, but I see "thunder_202306" appearing in his URL to Archive dot ORG, so I did a search and it found 13 PDFs pertaining to Radius displays here: https://archive.org/details/thunder_202306/Full%20Page%20Display%3Ags/ Screenshot of the...

Welcome to Tinker Different! Thanks for sharing, and I certainly hope you enjoy the forum!

I got my JLC-printed, carbon-fiber reinforced 60mm SE & SE/30 Analog Board FAN MOUNT installed, and here's how it looks: I think @alxlab intended for this mount to not require use of nuts on the bolts (machine screws), but if you insert and remove screws a few times, I think that might...

Thank you for this announcement, @eric ! I see from the FAQ that the emulator is called "SNOW" because of the "Snow White" design language Apple used (via Frog Design), starting with the Apple IIc in 1984 and continuing in the Macintosh line until the IIfx in 1990. "Snow White" is a little...

Snow? This is the first I've heard of it. Something new?

I recommend always checking the Dead Mac Scrolls when you have issues with your compact Macs. That incredible is your BEST FRIEND when it comes to any Vintage Mac. I have an original paper copy, but the good news it has been scanned and made available online, fully keyword searchable. More...

Fantastic work, @OneGeekArmy ! Love the icon too!

We should perhaps say, "with the Console5 diode." Because the parts I purchased from Mouser did not require any drilling, and the legs on that particular diode were pretty meaty too. I guess yours was just meatier still. I agree though that drilling isn't something most people would want to...

@jibsaramnim I'm both pleased and shocked that resistor measures 100Ω. Great you don't need a replacement, but that Blue or Violet 5th band at the end is unusual. It's not unheard of for high precision resistors like 0.1% tolerance ones, but those are expensive and your kit was cheap, so it...

I saw this post on FaceBook today, and I simply had to add a title and captions... I believe Steve is looking at the back side of the Cube, but the shot makes it look like his head is inside, which is absolutely hilarious, especially when you book at the facial expression of that bearded guy.

For those of you who don't already know, @slomacuser did a fantastic write-up on LEM here: https://lowendmac.com/2025/from-macsketch-to-macpaint/ It's an absolute must-read. No ChatGPT summaries! It's worth your time to read in full. Thank you for spending so much time to bring us that...

You're right! Thanks for pointing that out! Specifically, these should be opened in modern Photoshop... Then you should add sharpening... Then with some lifting of the Shadows on the NuBus Card, with slightly increased Saturation, and with Blacks adjusted in Levels, and with a 2x...

Thank you for the short video demo! Sure, glad they improved those pointy index finger to icons. The upper left corner pixel in the capital letter “A” in the AIDS menu is interesting, and I see why they improved that font with smoothing. Interesting to see how “Mix“ load to San Francisco...

The Apple artwork is kind of neat. When opening the IIci EPS file in a modern version of Illustrator, for example, it displays like this (grayscale)... Zooming in all the way on the Apple logo on that IIci shows how crude their shadowing was back then... But when zoomed out, it looks...

Unfortunately, the magnets used inside the Color Classic are not the same. They are flat and glued in place on the CRT. No twisting tweaks possible.

Not sure why I came across this thread today, but if you closely examine the photo in the opening post, you will see the displayed content is in fact NOT ROTATED as evidenced by the fact the left and right edges are perfectly straight up and down. If the entire screen was tilted, the left and...

Thank you for your kind words and for the added info. Normally, it's best to retain the stock capacitance value when possible, unless you have a schematic and know the operation of the circuit in question. But capacitors normally have a 20% tolerance, so if your replacement measures right at...

And here is the fruit of my labors: I hope it helps those of you who've been following this thread but haven't yet made the time to try it yet. It's worth it. A huge shout out to @YMK for having started this thread, and to @This Does Not Compute for chiming in with his experience. Special...
