    Let's fix up these //c's!

    Ya, I saw that, but I missed out on the kickstarter. Maybe more will be produced for purchase?

    Let's fix up these //c's!

    yummy... All clean and the key switches feel a lot better after following @AndyDiags excellent guide. No ALPS switches for me unfortunately :( Now to clean up the other keyboard...

    Uggh, I wanna go, but I'd have to drive the 5hrs home Saturday night because I have plans on Sunday...I'm on the fence.

    Let's fix up these //c's!

    I checked both PSUs, and they were outputting good voltages. So, I hooked everything up to see where these things stand. Both machines work and read disks as they are. Keyboards are...in need of attention. The small monochrome monitor shows a clear image, but it's very hard to get stable...

    My little guide on RGBTOHDMI installed on Classic, Plus, etc.

    Hey...look at that :) https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/compact-mac-video-adapter.462/ Ya, didn't mean to hijack your thread. Can't wait to build my own RGB2HDMI.

    My little guide on RGBTOHDMI installed on Classic, Plus, etc.

    I found one of those in my SE, but it's inline with the analog board wiring harness instead of mounted on a PCB with passthrough connectors: Also found this thing in my Classic that serves a similar purpose: I've been wanting to build an RGB2HDMI for awhile now to try these out, but I...

    MacTilt

    I just contacted them through their main customer support email...got a ticket number automatically assigned, etc. If you have any more "direct" contact info, please let me know!

    MacTilt

    Well, I contacted Ergotron...we'll see where that goes. I did set my Classic on the stand, and the foot pattern is the same: So, the "conversion" kit is likely just a different mounting plate or riser that allows the Classic's bottom air vent to breath, along with maybe a different retention...

    Hey, it says "Lifetime Warranty" right here in the instruction manual ;). Wonder what they would say if I needed warranty service? I guess they'd probably point out that I never mailed in the warranty registration card that I have here 😆

    MacTilt

    Showed my dad this thread and he was like "I have one of those "$99" Kensington slidaway keyboard stands...no box though, so probably only worth $98.99, lol. You want it?". So he's shipping that to me. Anyone know where I might find the MacTilt conversion for the Mac Classic? Or maybe...

    MacTilt

    Only kinda related to the MacTilt, but I found this with it in the basement too: It's a monitor stand for the IIgs and IIc with space for two 3.5" drives underneath when used with a IIgs. Apparently there were removable angled risers for it to allow putting a IIc under it too...not sure how...

    MacTilt

    So I took this thing out and played with it this morning. It's definitely minty-fresh-unused-new-in-box: Full forward and backward tilt: The verdict? I actually kind of like it, and would definitely want one if I was using a compact mac all day. It feels like you're putting a lot...

    MacTilt

    I'll try to find time to take it out and assemble it. Literally forgot I had it. I do know that it probably makes my SE too tall to fit in its current home, and I'm not going to put it in a more prominent place ontop of that sketchy-looking thing with cats running around 😆 I was wondering the...

    Looks like they have another one in the background. That picture just doesn't give me the warm-n-fuzzies 😬

    MacTilt

    Was looking for something in the basement today and forgot I had this. Anyone used one before? Is it stable or is it as precarious as pictures make it look? Suppose I should put it under my SE and find out :)

    Show me your gardens

    I built this in our backyard shortly after moving into our house a few years ago. The tall fence keeps the deer out, and I've since added chicken wire around the base to keep smaller critters out. Used the cap stones from an old retaining wall we had just replaced around the edge, and then some...

    problem with MicroMac accelerator in SE

    So the FPU arrived, I installed it, reassembled the machine, and fired it up. It was...flaky. Random, inconsistent instruction and bus errors, etc. Finally narrowed it down the 16MB of RAM I'd replaced the original 4MB on the accelerator with. I put the original four 1MB SIMMs back in, and...
