Yeah, I put in a fresh MeowToast with new CR2032. I also tried the reset button (which immediately snapped off), and the power on / off / on trick. No signed of life. Hoping a recap does it, but may be in the market for a replacement PSU...

Someone listed a G4 locally on FB Marketplace and I fortunately caught it quickly, since it had the Zip750 drive with face plate. It allowed me to complete my PowerMac G3/G3 tower collection (not every iteration, but every design) with Zip drives. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it...

Sadly, my excitement was short lived. The 6115 wouldn't even power on. Likely the PSU, but waiting on some caps to see if a recap does the trick. If anyone has a good spare 61xx power supply they are willing to sell, let me know. I'd imagine running with the DOS card is harder on the PSU than...

Making the solid platinum beige sides blue translucent is beyond my level of expertise. Also, you'd just be looking at metal shielding.

Yeah, I was worried the black would really make the yellowing in of the translucent parts stand out (versus the beige making it look whiter), but it actually isn't too bad. If it was pristine white translucent, I think it would look really good. Overall, I'm happy with it. I'll need to get a...

FYI, I finally got around to assembling and installing the battery eliminator in my backlight upgraded M5120 and can confirm it works well. I have the 7MB upgrade and the replacement hybrid card. No issues running it today after giving the caps time to charge up.

So, I had picked up a pair of G3 AIO machines recently. Unfortunately on one the right side of the case was badly scratched with terrible black marks. On the other, the left panel had damage. So I took the two good sides, retro-brighted them and took the best internal parts and made a good stock...

Actually, You can throw in a ZIF G4 card from a Yikes! G4 tower. I'm currently trying to locate one to upgrade my PowerMac G3 All-in-One to a G4.

This is awesome! I haven't broken out my 6115 with the DOS card in a while, but this will give me a good reason to. I know I struggled with getting Windows 3.11 / DOS on it (I think I resorted to making floppies with a USB floppy drive and then installing it that way). I decided Windows 95/98...

I recently discovered that my lack of boot chime on my Mac II was due to a bad speaker. I looked for some cheap 32 ohm speakers with a 56mm diameter, but the closest I found were these 40mm versions: uxcell 0.5 W 32 Ohm DIY Magnetic Speaker 40mm Round-Shape Replacement Loudspeaker for DVD/EVD...

OK, so I did a recap the board and saw no change. I also added in some 3xAAA holders for the batteries (with switches), so I can access them and turn them off when not planning on using the machine. I used rechargeable as I've never observed them leaking. I did also add a quick connect...

Unfortunately the Lisa has two stems side by side, versus the example you provided, which has a plus shape.

Good idea. Also, for the record, I am terrible at modeling, so if anyone wants to clean it up / improve it, I welcome that!

Are you sure the ADB keyboard is good? I believe you can short pin the PWR pin to ground to get it to boot without a working ADB keyboard with power button (http://www.interfacebus.com/ADB_Pinout.html). Also, it's usually not needed after a recap, but I've had some 550, Color Classic, MacTVs...

I have a Mac Plus with a 20MHz 030 accelerator and it works fine with my BlueSCSI. Different accelerator - it's a Total Systems Gemini board. I use the SCSI from the accelerator, as it is faster than the on-board SCSI on the Plus.

I have replacement Portable batteries I've been testing. One is a 6V lead acid battery inside. One is a LiPo 6v battery. And the final is simply a board with the supercapacitors installed to let it run without an actual battery while plugged in. I do not have the original charger, so I've...

Might have to pick up this type of cooler for mine. The heat was pretty crazy when I ran mine briefly to set up Windows on it. Thanks for the inspiration!

So, I had picked up a Lisa 2/10 a while back. and while removing the key caps for cleaning, the kegs on the Caps Lock key broke. I tried various methods to re-attach the existing legs, but was unsuccessful at getting them attached, at the correct height, and the correct angle. I even tried...

Or, if anyone has one that is in bad shape I'll buy the controller chip off of you!

I have 3 AppleDesign keyboards in good condition, fully functional, but they do not have the ALPS controller needed to be used in this project: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/design68-a-65-replacement-keyboard-using-appledesign-controllers.2952/ Anyone have an abundance and have the "Made...
