    So here's a pic with the present CC-LCD kit. It is the kit with LCD Display and frame plus mounting hardware, an analog board for the Color Classic, and all accessories.

    As for your "next question", we had a LOT of luck in the early stages of design where we found a cache of 20-25 NIB 800x600 LCD displays that costed us a bargain price. I had decided for this display as it is compatible with the Takky, being 800x600 and also 8.2" so that it fills neatly all the...

    Hi JDW. OK, I have developed two analog board replacements - and they are both available at this time. The LCD kit is separate and is the same for all kits. The CC-LCD kit is the one that works on every Color Classic. This is the one to order if all you want to do is replace your CRT with a LCD...

    And, JDW, that is incorrect. The CC-LCD kit supports ANY CRT BASED MACHINE EVER BUILT. including Takkys built following the guides available online that use the CRT. The only other use case is: I have in a recently purchased color classic a burned analog board, and maybe a bombed logic board. So...

    Hi guys! Me and Daan are the original designers of this kit. So, here are some in depth details. There are indeed two analog board designs, one was developed to make building a Takky project as streamlined and easy as possible, using the 630/6200 harness "as is" instead of having to rewire the...

    This makes the whole project even more interesting! The LCD in a CC will be compatible with LBs from the CC, CCII, 520, 550 and 575 - all with display resolution of 640x480! The 575 may also get 800x600 with this design. need to place a couple jumpers to set resolutions and it’s going to be great.

    So, the surprise is not that “Hook” - or 5xx series - has a 640x480, rather that the Splice (or CC) may possibly drive a 5xx analog board for the higher res. Can anybody confirm that placing a CC LB in a 520-575 results in a functioning system? Sense lines are set on the AB after all, not the LB.

    Update: a cage and harness is on ghe way to me, courtesy of “cheesestraws”! And, I laid my hands on two Apple Original (tm) schematics, one of the LC-575 Logic board and the second of the Color Classic. Both detail the Foxconn connector with all signals therefore the goal is nearer than ever! A...

    Hey Eric, I’m waiting for an intact harness and cage from a CC that a kind MLAer gifted me to build a functional but “open” cc that I can probe during operation to document each pin, so to duplicate it. I may need a healthy analog board for non-destructive testing at one point, but that is the...

    Hi, that is an interesting concept, I have to try and design something in DipTrace, maybe you got something there! Sure, once I vet. Ack from a week of well deserved holiday at the seaside i’ll post what I found out and maybe we can figure whats going on with the rest of the pins. franco

    Hey Kai - yes, that is a very viable possibility, as the graphics stream of the lb is routed directly to a connector outputting rgb plus composite sync so a prescaler or other analog video device can easily be placed between the lcd monitor and lb. However, that is an easy detail once I figure...

    So first things first - hello to everyone. The reason for this post is that I am building a sort of "reverse-Mystic" or Reverse Takky, in the sense that the core idea of Takky -and of Mystic as well- is to replace the logic board with a more powerful one, leaving the original (albeit modded)...
