The video I'm making won't eliminate the bother of buying the parts, but the installation has now become much more straightforward. Reading the documentation had me worried, but in the end, I figured out the most streamlined way of doing it. With that said, it would be great if the parts could...

Fascinating. So basically he removed a speaker from his 575 and put that into the front UNDERSIDE of the Color Classic like this... If you have only the single stock speaker, that is a really neat idea. Of course, I have Stereo Mod which uses another one of the stock speakers to make the...

@Dave928 I see what's missing... But I do know you have a clear knob printed. Fear not. My Brightness Knob video is nearly finished. Been working on the thumbnail today... No, my clear knob not backlit. I used a flashlight to shine down on the knob from the inside to take that shot...

I call them "hot air stations." Despite having decades of soldering iron experience, I never owned one until a couple years ago. Now I use it a fair amount, but you must be very, VERY careful around plastics, and don't expect Kaptan tape to come to the rescue every time. Multiple layers of...

I have a bad Quantum drive that I tried the freezing trick on a year ago, but it didn't work. And while I have used "baking" of video cards (in late 2009 iMacs) with tremendous success (I have multiple YouTube videos about it, actually), I have never attempted it on any hard drive.

Please review the photos in my previous post and closely examine where the metal rod enters the epoxied area of the main body at top. How deep does the rod go into that epoxy? Not sure if I will ever get a spare rod from somebody out there to repair mine like you do, but I just want to prep for...

Sadly, I have no 3D printer, and when I last tried to print those RAM CLIPS at JLC, they refused saying their tiny size was too small for them to print! But the concept is great. Ultimately, what I did was pay Kay Koba in the past (prior to my buying a Hakko FR-301 Desoldering Gun) to swap out...

I will tag @YMK and @Willj so they can comment about availability of their respective Synchr030/S and SIPP RAM products.

Ah... The two nuts on bottom... Well, I've done that sort of removal before, mainly because the brass rod had broken, making it easy to remove after removing the nuts, which you can see below... Another few photos showing the broken brass rod... But I never torn that flyback apart...

Wow. How, specifically, did you "dismantle" the flyback, and did you shoot photos of that?

Why is it at times like this I always think of @MacEffects coming to the rescue with a fabulous recreation! :) Well, until that day comes, we have to choose other options. I cannot say of the "alternatives" you link work. Where do they even source them? That's the big question. Even $10...

The reason I had two different Carts before is because one version of the Small PCB had space for physically larger capacitors, which also have better specs. So I took advantage of that by creating a special Cart for that version which had wider and better caps. But those caps are out of stock...

Capacitors for the LARGE PCB are the same across all 400K drive types. Only the SMALL PCB have differences. Your photo of the SMALL PCB matches my photo here... That is a good thing because I am worried about the other version SMALL PCB where you must put one of the capacitors on the left...

@Piszigri I spotted your post in that other forum today... It will be interesting to see how your excellent kit develops once it becomes impossible for anyone to source that particular LCD anymore. For now, I've been looking for more photos of how the GVision display looks in its native...

I have printed DeskSaver feet in PA12-HP MJF at JLC (shown in gray below), and compared to SLS Nylon (shown in black below), the PA12-HP MJF is smoother to the touch. Reasonably flexible too, so it will be interesting to see what happens when I print the walled HDD bracket in that. But I...

Now that I've added the new SPIISD case from @Branchus and have added my $10 Discount Coupon, I'm ready to pull the trigger on my JLC order. 🥳

@jmacz Your work is absolutely magnificent! No errors at all when uploading your STL files to JLC3DP. Below are some JLC prices based on different filament types. Clear is obvious for the MacEffects case, but please let me know your thoughts and "recommendations" for a good filament type...

Confirmed my MacSD mounting holes (and PCB holes) align with a standard 3.5" HDD: (HDD in photo above is a Conner removed from my Macintosh Portable) And here's how MacSD looks in the stock metal bracket...

Wow! You did some incredible work there, @jmacz ! Outstanding! 👏 After arriving back home, I searched and searched, but not a single MacSD to be found! However, I searched the MacSD website and found this page with STL files. https://macsd.com/files.php I downloaded the "Standard Mounting...

Thank you very much for the follow-up. I’m outside the home for a few hours right now, but when I return home I will search for another MacSD to see if I can give you an answer. Most of my Mac’s are at the office, and I may have taken the spare MacSD units there too. I will tag @YMK in case he...
