You are right to not be trusting. I dislike the modern tiny caps that replace the old huge one's because the ESR is often lower on the old caps. But the biggest issue is cooling, for boards that get hot. The bigger the cap, the more surface area, and the easier it is to keep them cool. So...

@Elemenoh Have any photos or videos of your recapped Pivot in action? In terms of major jobs like this, I'd advise getting a tripod and keep your camera (or even iPhone) handy. That's really how I got started on YouTube in terms of my Public videos. You see, I'm forgetful and I wanted to...

Could you please measure resistance on the light green resistor shown in the Console5 kit below? I only just now noticed it is 5-band, and unless my eyes are deceiving me, that means it is the wrong value... BRN-BLK-BRN-GLD-BLU = 10.1Ω, 0.25% tolerance The correct resistor for RL22 is 100Ω...

Very surprising. Not sure about the right answer. QuickDraw is disk intensive, and benchmarks do load from disk. The only way to know if that has something to do with it would be to boot from a RAM Disk with System Info and Speedometer on it. You'd need a fair amount of RAM to do that...

Your CPU score of 8.69 in Speedometer is really good. I made these benchmarks of the MacEffects Performer, 33MHz FPU XTAL at left, and 16MHz at right below. I am always shocked at how little difference that 33MHz FPU makes. I made these last year in the WarpSE thread: We were testing...

@Kay K.M.Mods very graciously made time today to measure voltage at the side of RL62 that connects to the Cathode side of DL21 and DL22. He had the stock diodes installed. He measured 19.7v. That is a great relief to me because my measurement was about 19.3v when using the 5W replacement...

The 040 CPU requires a lot more power from the Analog Board in the CC than the stock 030 CPU motherboard does, and if your Analog Board and Motherboard are not both recapped, you will have unexplainable problems. I strongly recommend OS CON caps when recapping your LC575 motherboard because...

The main reason I suggesting "3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation", with 3D Printing appearing first is because this thread has predominantly become about 3D printing. Some may feel this thread is about 3D stuff exclusively pertaining to MacEffects cases, but in fact we have talked about a...

The title of this thread is MacEffects Appreciation Post A lot of folks are missing those important thread because of the title. Please let me know what you all think if I were to rename it: 3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation

Alongside my CRT Protector came all the knobs and another two sets of my Mac SE and SE/30 metal chassis DESK SAVERS. Below are all high resolution photos so be sure to click them to see the detail. People who want to print the knob (normal inner diameter version or the slightly larger 6.2...

@nekogahora280 You are saying you registered at the 68kMLA forum, and that is fine. But you don't need to wait a few days. You can send Bolle a PM here on TinkerDifferent. Simply hover over his "Bolle" name in this thread and then click "Start conversation" as shown below.

I am embarrassed to say it, but because I never owned the Carrera040 card, I never read all the details. I learned something new today. @nekogahora280 大変申し訳ございません！🙇‍♂️ Sure enough, the Carrera040 discussion below says it requires Bolle's adapter (not the ARTMIX Japan TS Adapter)...

Thanks to Nick Gillard of 1-bit Rainbow for the original STL and huge thanks to @caver01 for having fixed 779 errors and uploaded the newest version STL: 👉 STL DOWNLOAD 👈 I now have a beautiful Red PLA printed CRT Yoke Protector from JLC3DP... It was a little hard to get on...

On Macintosh Garden, DL#1 is this... I downloaded that, and it looks like this... Previewing the contents looks like this... When I bring that file into Basilisk II, it looks like this... When I unstuffy the file within Basilisk II, the result looks like this... When you put it...

Gentlemen, Thank you for your feedback. I arrived at the office this morning and flipped on the swatch at back. I never booted the machine. The case-back was off, of course, but it can't be helped. There is no air movement in the room in which I am testing the machine. Ambient was almost...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have the replacement 18W Zener (1N5355B) soldered straight up on its legs (i.e., "vertical orientation"), and I have it raised up at least 1cm above the PCB. It is soldered into DL22 pads to keep the maximum distance from nearby capacitors. (Even then, the...

This evening after work, I was filming and testing for a solid 2 hours. During that 2 hours, I left the CC's Switch on back flipped ON. The machine was either booted or in the Shutdown condition during those 2 hours. Toward the very end, I left it in the Shutdown condition for a while because...

My filming of the component swap is finished. All replacement parts were raised up and off the PCB for better cooling. It passed the SMOKE TEST. No changes to the way the picture displays on the CRT either. Great so far! This animated GIF shows the OLD and NEW components... The black...

I checked Macintosh Garden just now. It's working. I searched for WISH I WERE, and the page appears just fine here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/wish-i-were-v20 The Control Panel from Bolle is found on the Garden here, and I confirmed just now that the page displays just fine...

Now that Apple Legal has gotten involved, asking Nick Gillard to stop offering "fully assembled" Pico Mac Nanos, he is allowed to keep his 3D printers running at full speed to process orders for now... SOURCE Nick sent out an email which says, "To date we have shipped almost 400 units and are...
