Same here! Looking forward to the clear case Kickstarter.

I remember there being a thread over on the MLA talking about recreating them, I don't think it ever got anywhere past the discussion phase though. Too bad, I would be interested in several for my x100 machines.

I never realized I needed a SCSI bus analyzer in my life until I saw your post, my future empty wallet thanks you!

You may be right, I'm using 25V Kyocera AVX caps. Maybe the higher rated voltage has something to do with it. https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/KYOCERA-AVX/TCJE476M025R0050E?qs=d0WKAl%252BL4KakoCbCQXOB2w==

Was able to test the TDK power supply voltages at the connector plugged into the logic board with the LC III turned on earlier today. +12, +5 and -5 all looked good with C22 orientated per the silkscreen. I'll need to build a loopback adapter and test out the ports next time I'm in front of...

That computer has a TDK power supply. It's of course stuck back in storage, I'm going to pull it out next time I'm over there and test the -5V rail.

That's interesting I recently recapped a LCIII with tantalums and followed the factory silkscreen for capacitor orientation including C22. I haven't done a lot of testing with it since recap but was able to get a healthy chime, video, cursor and flashing question mark. I seem to remember...

Still very much interested and tracking this. Glad to see it getting some traction!

Neat! Thanks for the link YMK, and the additional insight everyone else. Hoping that everything will survive a trip through the ultrasonic. If not, at least I have some pictures to replicate where the wires were tacked.

I cracked open this LC III to start the recap process to find a repair/mod/bodge? Not sure what's going on here. Think it's safe to fire up once I've recapped and cleaned the board?

That's the one. Need to send him an e-mail and see if he has any left for sale or if he's working on another batch.

I'm dumb, I completely forgot about dosdude1's IDE SD project. I'd be willing to bet that'd be about the best option. Small and knowing him, very compatible.

I just picked up a Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, check that one off the unicorn list! I'd like to drop a SSD into it as the original drive is pretty noisy and I'd rather not kill the one that came with the computer. Has anyone had any more or less luck with PATA to SATA adapter brands...

Thanks for posting the results. I'm also surprised some of those items went for the prices they did, seems like in an auction like that everything would be at a premium. Good news for me, I thought I had been priced out of some of the more uncommon Apple IIs.

One of those Apple IIIs is highly tempting. Be interesting to see what the ending bids will be on some of the more rare items.

Ah, the MacTilt! I had one for my SE/30 way back when. When I see people find one and post them up there's always that concern of it falling out. Aside from KennyPowers, I've never seen anyone have those small retaining clips with the stand. I distinctly remember having those for mine and I...

I've got very little experience when it comes to ordering boards. I'm very interested in putting one of these together but I'd really need someone to hold my hand through the order process.

The label has to come off at least partially to access the screws hidden underneath. I serviced one of mine and was able to get the label off in one piece and mostly stuck back on but one corner is slightly lifted.

Thank you for the reply, I am interested in one of your DRAM-plus-flash modules but am a little wary of the potentially permanent nature of the upgrade.

This is great news! Been following your progress @Androda. Are you still experiencing issues where installing the expansion module is a one way process where the system is copied over to the card?
