    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    It might be easier to take the larger items to either FedEx Office or the UPS store and have them pack them, while taking care of the smaller items yourself. Could be cheaper, too. I'm doing this with the B&W G3 I'm selling to @cc_333 on 68kMLA. Just going to be easier than my sourcing a box...

    Kernel Panic on PowerMac G3

    Your MacBook Pro should be able to burn the CD images from the Macintosh Garden. You might have to add .iso after the .toast part in the filename before Disk Utility will recognize it, but it should work. When I had this occur on my G3 last spring, I was able to burn the four CDs necessary to...

    Massive Vintage Apple Haul in Idaho

    I'd be tempted to sell the sheet feeder separately. It's an uncommon option. Does mean that the printer will be missing the smoked plastic window that fits in the lid that covers the print head, but, it'll be a lot easier to ship the IWII as the basic printer. I have come across NOS tractor...

    What I've received as of late...

    May be reconquesting my old Daystar Turbo 601 from a 68kMLA member who wasn't able to get it working on his IIci. Also, have received a IIgs from @KennyPowers. Am picking up some stuff from @PotatoFi's haul next week, and should have an A9M0106 floppy drive coming through the 'bay soon.

    Idaho Apple Haul Hard Drives?

    A medium FRB is $16.10, so, if people want the drives, that's a good way of shipping them.

    Stealth IIgs question

    If you wanted. You'd have to redo the icons on the rear panel in black, so they'd be visible again. Unlike the ones on a real IIgs or a Mac, they aren't molded, instead being painted, like on the regular IIe.

    Stealth IIgs question

    Yes, you can. The baseplate used for the Stealth GS kit is for the later //e cases that don't use the "velcro" tabs for the case lid. I owned an early //e that I had upgraded to the IIgs upgrade kit. Case had to be replaced with one from a 1984-86 //e to work with the baseplate. So, you'll...

    GCC Technologies FI/30 internal HD for Mac SE

    I have the same thing in my SE SuperDrive as well. Bought it from Herb Johnson.

    Mac IIci Success Story

    Looking good. I would verify that the Nubus slots are working. UH1 is looking a little grimy, like how mine was. Luckily, the chips are still available and fairly cheap.

    Will the dos card for 6100 work in IIci?

    As Kai said, it's pretty much a 6100 item only. There were some PC cards that did work in Nubus 68K Macs, though. Might be worth hunting one of those down if you want to run DOS programs.

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    The back panel shown is the IIcx version. IIci has a video port in the middle. The Quadra 700 case is preconfigured for a Wombat (C/Q650, Q800) board, so it's just a matter of dropping it in. You do lose access to the third slot, if there's a need for external connection, since the 700 only...

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    Also, the Centris/Quadra 650 and Quadra 800 boards come with tants from the factory. Yet, the PowerMac 7100 boards have electrolytics.

    A “NEW” quadra 800?

    IIcx has no video output port on its board, so that area is blank. You might also find a dead IIvx or IIvi machine (or a Centris 650/Quadra 650 that's dead), then you can swap the board into that system. Transfer the power LED from the dead machine's board to the solder pads on the 800 board...

    Macintosh TV CRT replacement

    Nice score. If I remember correctly, the S-video cables are pinned differently than the ADB cables, though. Might be safer to mask off the metal parts of the connectors on a 590-0616 ADB cable, then use black plastidip to change the color of that cable to match the MacTV. Otherwise, for a...

    What are your vintage grail items?

    For me, probably the IIgs upgrade kit machine I sold for $150 in 1995. Even though I wasn't using it much anymore. If I had the storage space, I probably would've stored it away and brought it with me when we moved from our previous house to our current house.

    Not only vintage Computers

    Same with my 242 Turbo. Back in the day, it was a quick car. Now, it's one of the slower ones. And, like your 300D, it's mostly mechanical. K-Jetronic fuel injection (same setup used in the gas Benzes of the 1980s, but less electronic), so only chips are in the fuel pump relay and in the...

    Not only vintage Computers

    I think you'd like them a lot, especially once they're installed. Got the Volvo version on my car. Large improvement over the stock lamps it had (granted it also had the small rectangular 4x6 headlamps when I got it. Yeah, NM seems to be an area where I wouldn't expect much fog. Re: the rack...

    Not only vintage Computers

    ^That could work. Even though I'd personally keep it red - less work involved, since the door jambs and underhood areas don't have to be resprayed. I would definitely consider swapping to the european composite E-code headlamps, though. Gives the car a more unique appearance, as well as...

    Not only vintage Computers

    I'd be tempted to leave it the stock color. That dark red does look classy, even though it does make the car a little hotter than a light color does. With respect to licensing, it does qualify for NM's horseless carriage plates, or, alternatively, 1985 vintage plates, on collector...

    Not only vintage Computers

    It's faded silver. It's going to be sprayed properly in Volvo code 19 "Diplomat Black" paint, so it'll match the rest of the car. I will, however, leave the underside of the hood silver, that way I'll have more light underhood for working on it, especially if I'm on the side of the road at...
