Thank you for your kind words. But in answer to your question, I’ve never thought about 3-D printed standoffs simply because I’m not sure how they would work, and because I’m on my iPhone right now I’m unable to view your video.

I just finished watching the YouTube video linked in the opening post. I am floored. @AlexTheCat123 , your incredible work is truly groundbreaking. You know, I've always wanted to tinker with a LISA, but I never could get the EMULATOR to work. And the real thing is too big, bulky and...

BBQ'd hamburgers with homemade bun. It's been a couple years since I had last BBQd. But this is a holiday week in Japan, and I wanted to do something different for our lunch yesterday. It was nice to fire up the charcoal Weber again after so long. Here in Japan, it's very hard to find...

I just released a video showing the first 1/3rd of my STANDOFF REPAIR using J-B Weld Plastic Bonder epoxy... Neither do I. There is just too much weight inside that aging case. Sadly, there is no MacEffects plastic replacement case available (at least, not yet), so we either leave the...

I have dealt with two Cubes at the office and one personal Cube at home, all of which had issues with their FireWire Ports. In my case, all were fixed with DeOxit D5 sprayed into the FireWire connectors from the outside. I did that for the USB connections too, because one Cube had an iffy...

Probably bad documentation because I’ve only ever seen those three resistors, and all three, perpetually mentioned. This is yet another case of “you have to try it to find out.“ Meaning, remove only the two resistors, but not R67, and see what happens.

@kefkafloyd Your first post in this thread said this: My Color Classic has not been modded for 640x480 output. But my CC now has the 84V VGA Mod (640x480). So although I do have an LC 520 motherboard that works, my VGA mod most likely would prevent me from seeing 560x384 as a selectable...

I don’t have a Mac IIsi, but I do have the Baby Face power supply that works in a Mac SE/30. I did a video about that, in fact. It uses the Meanwell modules. The biggest issue I have with Meanwell modules is their voltage output is fixed. But the stock PSUs on the SE and SE/30 have a tiny POT...

I recommend you buy BONDIC and a UV Flashlight. Great for insulating exposed legs or even small cuts and gashes in cables too! Just squirt a little out all around the leg, then shine your UV light on it for 20-30 to ensure you get a good hard cure of the BONDIC. Congratulations on your...

@techknight The clutch disassembly steps presented earlier by @fthain are these: 1. Try to think up some way forward 2. Apply force to parts 3. Curse and swear and consider abandoning the whole idea 4. No, goto step 1 What are your steps?

Thank you for the photos. But it just doesn’t seem to look like something that could’ve been done at the factory. Another t tail sign of what I’m saying is the cut into copper that I’ve circled for you below: It’s all very strange.

Seems more of a private hack job than something SONY would do because: (1) there is heat shrink on it (atypical for a factory build), and (2) capacitor leads ought not to be extended like that. The photos don’t show where both capacitor legs connect. And zooming in on the heat shrink in you...

Intel Mac users, here are the exact steps I use just now to get Eric's Intel Build Attachment to launch on my macOS Monterey 5K iMac: Launch Terminal Type the following WITH A SINGLE SPACE AT THE END: xattr -cr Switch to the Finder but keep your Terminal window in view. After decompressing...

The sheer amount of work that went into this project is stunning. What a beautiful result! This is genius level stuff, @Sideburn. You should be very proud of that accomplishment. Bravo! 👏

Atari 130xe laptop? Wow. Not an Atari guy at all, but I’d love to see a photo of your handiwork, either here or in our Atari sub-forum.

@Sideburn Prices be darned. Sales like your fully assembled kit have meaning. It just needs to get in front of more eyes. Because I recently bought a Pico Mac Nano and Maclock which I had planned to show in a forthcoming video, with your blessing I’d like to mention this thread and your video...

@Sideburn I kind of know how you feel. I put together a recent Yahoo auction for my employer in Japan of a complete G4 Cube system with 1.2GHz accelerator installed and tested, along with a clear mouse rebuilt by me (took 6 hours), cleaned keyboard (also took hours because it’s hard to open)...

@Sideburn I found your EBAY store here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?&_ssn=sideburnstudios Just wanted to post the link so everyone has convenient access. Wow. I see you have not only the sticker sheets but a complete build of your Maclock conversion too!

Holy cow! That's a fantastic reproduction. You know, I just took delivery this week of my own Maclock from Aliexpress. I spent the last few weeks trying to find a vendor who still included the original Apple logo sticker sheet because most have stopped including it. Finally found a vendor...

Oh my, how lovely! I hate to admit it, but I have a huge number if 3.5" disks, but only two disk holders. Having an awesome-looking holder like that would really be neat. Looking forward to seeing the final holder after painting and with logo affixed!
