I enjoy Equator quite a lot, their house blend is good. However, I’ve stopped drinking caffeinated coffee because the caffeine is absorbed like a jolt of lightning. I prefer Yerba Mate tea for a slow even dose of caffeine. On the topic of coffee, for years I would accept nothing other than...

I use RadioShack 60/40 Rosin (0.032" / 0.81mm Ø) (Amazon) at 400c with a conical tips (Amazon) on my Weller WE1010NA.

I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but when I was repairing a CC that had shipping damage I took the back panel to home depot and had them color match it. The results were excellent and the only problems I found was from faded spots in the plastic which I would not have otherwise...

Did you wash your board in any way? I wonder if you inadvertently "sloshed" some tainted fluids into the amp / controller (I don't know which chip has this job).

I can't imagine there's a huge demand for replacement M0110A ROMs but I can definitely say I am very interested in seeing your results!

This lousy scribble is the schematics for the speaker driver, I believe @JDW may have better schematics but I am not sure. Source

Looks great! Mind sharing where you had your prints done?

To clarify, I mean converting an ATX power supply for use with a 128k/512k/Plus. As much as I understand, the SE & SE/30 use wholly different connectors on the logic board.

I've used these in the past for the 128K / 512K. (mouser) (Molex 09-50-3111). I use one for my ATX to Compact logic board adapter which includes a breakout for RGBtoHDMI.

That's my first time seeing that — thanks for sharing!

Basically a visual inspection — if I could see yellow glue I scraped it away. If I recall correctly, I used a plastic spudger for most of it and a flat head screwdriver for uncooperative spots. No chemical baths, just prepping the surface with 99% IPA. edit: It's worth noting, applying the RTV...

Interesting, I see. I don't think there's any harm in cleaning the headphone jack (or outright removing it for testing purposes). If you're open to a little fringe experimentation you could connect a speaker directly to the connector on the logic board. edit: for clarification, the red circle...

I have a lovely Quicktake 200 and Smartmedia card but no way to upload the photos to a computer. I've purchased two readers — an old HP Smartmedia reader which turns out only supports 3.3v Smartmedia and a MicroTech CameraMate. Unfortunately, the CameraMate doesn't seem to power on, even with a...

Great job, the colors look beautiful!

Here are all four sides of the "resealed" flyback.

Exactly this. For some reason, I often find older macs have dead speakers (with no obvious sign of damage). I have a “new to me” 512k with this problem right now.

Not exactly plastic tabs, but I've used firm steel mesh (Amazon) to reinforce a shattered HD20 and can confirm it works quite nicely.

I personally have a Hantek DSO5072P (Amazon) which is quite nice but I have been considering a Hantek 2D42 (Amazon). Coincidentally, a few of us on the Open Retro SCSI discord server were discussing this 2 weeks ago and a few members were fans of the "5012H" oscilloscope (Amazon)

I don't think there's anything particularly special about this brand, but I picked up American Sealant, Inc.'s 502 "High Performance" RTV Silicone locally (Amazon) (Datasheet). In order to prepare the flyback I carefully cleaned every last speck of yellow glue from the housing and then...
