Yeah. I think he plugs it into the exterior floppy port later in the video when the case is off. And he alluded to a possible change to solder a connector internally so the cable could be routed inside the case. At that point, you could throw on a standard 512k back case and it would be very...

Yeah, I'm going to maybe try some more targeted documentation of the behavior to see if I can see a pattern. On the plus side, it seems to be running well now. Newly painted mouse and ADB cable to match the keyboard and case, working TV tuner card, and a replacement Sony remote to control...

I did recap the analog board. I also swapped an analog board / CRT from a Performa 575 that was working last time I had the logic board in it and the behavior was the same. Also, the issue seemed to start (inconsistent ability to power on) when I recapped the first set of capacitor I had on...

The Mac TV shipped with the exact same remote as you used with the 630. RMC-A1. The TAM came with the boxier, more traditional remote shown on the left in my picture above with the generic Sony credit card remote. I may have a new revised search term to see if I could find an original...

Fortunately, I spoke too soon. These Macs (for reasons I don't understand) sometimes need to be plugged in a bit before they'll boot. I left it plugged in and powered on (without pressing the soft power button) for a bit and went back and it booted up. My bodge wire work is horrendous, but it...

Yeah, that was the only one that seemed to make sense. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a wire soldered into that via , but I did find where the VIA is connected to pin 1 on the U26 IC to the left of it. I was able to get a bodge wire from that to the new capacitor. Unfortunately, I am unable to...

I was replacing the last capacitor on my Mac TV logic board (C195) and because it was a larger one, I tried to desolder it instead of using my usual push and twist method. Turns out there was a decent amount of leakage under the cap and the pad ripped clean off. The other one lifted a bit, but...

I recently bought a Mac TV, but it was missing some accessories. One missing accessory was the remote control. I looked on eBay, but was unable to find any listings, and the original remote, a small accessory that came with a Mac that barely sold, is going to be tough to come by. Fortunately...

As you maybe could see in my other post, I recently picked up a Mac TV (one of my holy grail items), however it was missing a few accessories, namely the mouse, and the keyboard's ADB cable. Unfortunately, the black ADB accessories can be very expensive on eBay, and rarely come up for sale...

I ended up buying the extra long version of the extender (23 inch extender). I'll try doing the same with some tongs / tweezers to get it connected. May order a desktop f4 and see if I can make a 3d printable mounting bracket for it. We'll see.

Anyone used a BlueSCSI in the tray mounted Macs (LC575 / Mac TV / etc) that use an edge connector? Thinking you'd need to pair one of the desktop versions of BlueSCSI by @Androda with a 3d printed mounting bracket that would align the SCSI connector at the right spot so you could plug the edge...

So, I also painted one of my coiled ADB keyboard cables and again, the results were much better than I anticipated. I'll try to take a picture of the whole setup. Unfortunately, it would be tougher to accomplish on the keyboard itself due to the letters printed on the keys. Although, I...

Yes, removed the battery first thing. I'll be recapping the logic board shortly. And then the analog board. Given the yellow tint on the monitor, I'll probably be re-flowing many of the solder joints on the analog board.

Just a good cleaning. I'm hoping all the contact points that rub against other plastic should be well hidden (where the mouse button may rub when clicking). The slides underneath were covered with painters tape. Really my only concerns are the cable and any rubbing from my finger or palm...

I actually went with vinyl/plastic dye in a spray can for the mouse, to see how it would work. The results were surprisingly good. I’d say you’d be hard pressed to tell it’s not original. I put it on a bit too strong and got a bit of a bump from extra paint, but the texture and finish are...

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I have a NeXT mouse with my NeXT Station, but I believe it is the non-ADB kind. I may see about picking one up. Side benefit: I can use it with my NeXT Cube I will one day acquire!

Good news, I did a bit of cleanup, connected up a set of mismatched platinum ADB keyboard / mouse, the machine powered on! The screen initially had a yellow hue to it, but a friendly bump on the side caused it to become correctly colored (will be reflowing the solder joints on the analog...

Recently picked up a Macintosh TV. Sold as non-working, with no mouse and no ADB cable for the keyboard. I paid more than I'd like, but took a chance it could be salvaged. Got it today and cleaned it up a bit, checked for anything terrible on the logic board, and fired it up. It turned on...

Package arrived this morning and it is all in one piece. It was pretty dirty, but cleaned up pretty well - not too many scratches, but overall the plastic is fair. Pleasantly surprised to find the logic board in good shape - no major cap leakage and the battery (original) had not leaked yet...

Yeah, I always thought it would be cool to have a machine that ran both, but never realized at the time how impressive the integration Apple created was, with the ability to copy and paste across the two environments. I considered buying a new CPU, when it originally didn't work, but think I'm...
