Tinkering with my project iMac yesterday trying to get the power working, I learned that the PSU lacks continuity on the ground line. As in, I couldn't find the ground pin on the power supply connector when I had everything connected and plugged in. I was testing for continuity by holding one...

So I popped the troubled Mac SE open and fiddled around more with the brightness potentiometer, and got zero response whatsoever. Without removing the analog board completely, I think I'm going to have a hard time diagnosing the problem, but from what I can see it's possible that resistor R26...

I'll admit, I did not fully appreciate this model when they came out - I was still very much enamored with the Space Egg G3 iMac design. But lately I've realized that at this point in my nostalgia, it's basically everything I want out of a Vintage Mac - a stylish form factor with a lightweight...

Hey, gang - one of the Mac SE's I purchased this summer has a problem with the CRT, where the brightness has to be turned down all the way in order to not have these diagonal lines all over the place. I haven't adjusted any of the potentiometers on the side of the analog board, but I might have...

Which I guess is my bigger question - can just the processor be swapped out on this one? Do I need to replace the whole...

Nice! Mine is coming my way in the next couple weeks, I'm looking forward to putting it together.
