    Do you mean the machines like the TAM that use the square battery? If so, this is good to know!

    Most excellent donation at Free Geek Twin Cities today!

    This came in as a donation today, from the original owner. It's beautiful. @This Does Not Compute shot some video I'm sure he'll put up on YT later. He says he has more good stuff to share!

    Macchimey?

    It was a real thing back in the day. I remember seeing ads for it in mags like Macuser and Macworld.

    Color Classic - Mystic Bezel

    That looks great. I've got a "bruised" CC emblem and now I have a way to address it!

    Apple II Plus

    If you just work the keys in question (bang on them continuously like a wild monkey) for a while they should start to work again. You can pull the caps and use a drop of alcohol or contact cleaner, but I've only found that to be rarely necessary. They should come back their own after a while...

    $30 Box of Random Electronics

    Go search on eBay for "prison TV". You will find many options. I picked one up for my clear Apple IIe.

    My first VIC20

    This one doesn't work - yet. Severely needs caps. Big bad tuna smell. Hope things aren't too corroded in there.

    Apple II Plus

    You don't _have_ to replace the RIFAs, but chances are they will go soon - if it hasn't already. Other than making a stinky mess, it shouldn't take out anything important inside the power supply or the machine in general. Machine should still run with it in a failed state. If it were me, I'd...

    NetBSD/mac68k 9.2 Install - Saga

    Watching with interest. A *BSD image would be fun - especially if you've done all the work! :-)

    Apple IIGS RGBtoHDMI + Apple Macintosh Monitors

    Looks great! So the ribbon cable is being soldered down to the underside of the IIgs logic board? No criticism implied, but would there be a way to do this that's more reversable? I guess de-soldering wires wouldn't be that bad.

    USB Zip 250

    Same here. I have a variety of different Zip disks to do system diags and installs. Need to also build some Jaz disks for redundancy (and fun!)
