The title of this thread is MacEffects Appreciation Post A lot of folks are missing those important thread because of the title. Please let me know what you all think if I were to rename it: 3D Printing & MacEffects Appreciation

Alongside my CRT Protector came all the knobs and another two sets of my Mac SE and SE/30 metal chassis DESK SAVERS. Below are all high resolution photos so be sure to click them to see the detail. People who want to print the knob (normal inner diameter version or the slightly larger 6.2...

@nekogahora280 You are saying you registered at the 68kMLA forum, and that is fine. But you don't need to wait a few days. You can send Bolle a PM here on TinkerDifferent. Simply hover over his "Bolle" name in this thread and then click "Start conversation" as shown below.

I am embarrassed to say it, but because I never owned the Carrera040 card, I never read all the details. I learned something new today. @nekogahora280 大変申し訳ございません！🙇‍♂️ Sure enough, the Carrera040 discussion below says it requires Bolle's adapter (not the ARTMIX Japan TS Adapter)...

Thanks to Nick Gillard of 1-bit Rainbow for the original STL and huge thanks to @caver01 for having fixed 779 errors and uploaded the newest version STL: 👉 STL DOWNLOAD 👈 I now have a beautiful Red PLA printed CRT Yoke Protector from JLC3DP... It was a little hard to get on...

On Macintosh Garden, DL#1 is this... I downloaded that, and it looks like this... Previewing the contents looks like this... When I bring that file into Basilisk II, it looks like this... When I unstuffy the file within Basilisk II, the result looks like this... When you put it...

Gentlemen, Thank you for your feedback. I arrived at the office this morning and flipped on the swatch at back. I never booted the machine. The case-back was off, of course, but it can't be helped. There is no air movement in the room in which I am testing the machine. Ambient was almost...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have the replacement 18W Zener (1N5355B) soldered straight up on its legs (i.e., "vertical orientation"), and I have it raised up at least 1cm above the PCB. It is soldered into DL22 pads to keep the maximum distance from nearby capacitors. (Even then, the...

This evening after work, I was filming and testing for a solid 2 hours. During that 2 hours, I left the CC's Switch on back flipped ON. The machine was either booted or in the Shutdown condition during those 2 hours. Toward the very end, I left it in the Shutdown condition for a while because...

My filming of the component swap is finished. All replacement parts were raised up and off the PCB for better cooling. It passed the SMOKE TEST. No changes to the way the picture displays on the CRT either. Great so far! This animated GIF shows the OLD and NEW components... The black...

I checked Macintosh Garden just now. It's working. I searched for WISH I WERE, and the page appears just fine here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/wish-i-were-v20 The Control Panel from Bolle is found on the Garden here, and I confirmed just now that the page displays just fine...

Now that Apple Legal has gotten involved, asking Nick Gillard to stop offering "fully assembled" Pico Mac Nanos, he is allowed to keep his 3D printers running at full speed to process orders for now... SOURCE Nick sent out an email which says, "To date we have shipped almost 400 units and are...

Oh, wow! And only $2.79 too... That's really amazing. Thank you for convincing Console5 to add that kit! I'm still filming my video on the CC Analog Board parts swap. Having to deal with some lifted pads right now. Not torn-off pads, just lifted. Not too surprising in light of how hot...

Weren't the original C64 keyboard keys double-shot with two different colors of plastic to ensure nothing could possibly wear off over time? I never owned a C64 back in the day, so I have no idea. Many good keyboards of that era did use double-shot keys, even HP calculators, and that's why...

Welcome to TinkerDifferent, Jake. I sure hope you got a good price on that Mac Plus, because no one in their right mind should be selling that machine at "going rates" without a normaly 1MB amount of RAM. Your story is the first I've hard of a Mac Plus selling with insufficient RAM. The Plus...

Welcome, Steve! Looking forward to seeing some photos of your SE/30 Reloaded build!

@Garrett Thanks for sharing that info! @Kay K.M.Mods has an excellent write-up about his experience with the LC575 A.B.’s flyback versus the CC A.B.’s flyback here: https://ameblo.jp/keroxiee1016/entry-12606478366.html And here are two photos I extracted from that write-up… LC575 flyback...

The attachment in the opening post by @YMK has a text file extension even though it is HTML, making it hard to open. I converted it to Google Sheets and improved the styling and layout. Anyone can freely edit and update it here: Color Classic ANALOG BOARD PARTS LIST...

@This Does Not Compute The only time I have ever had my screen stay black, hearing all the sounds you described AND booting too, is when I've got the CPU overclocked too fast for the VRAM SIMM. But I am using an LC575 board, and it seems you are using the stock CCII board, right? In other...

Because I am preparing a video on this topic, I have re-read this entire thread a couple times, and I'd like to address some loose ends... @YMK Very sorry to trouble you, but could you please mark on an analog board photo where that "horizontal output transistor" is located? I'm just curious...
