    Joe's Mac Racks

    Got my Plus, 512k, SE FDHD, and amber alps ][c. Couldn't fit them in, but there also should be a 2009 27' imac, a 2007 black MacBook, and one of the 2009 MacBooks.

    Mac Plus floppy drive part

    Strange, I recently repaired a similar drive and I didn't find any pieces like that at all. Maybe you possibly have a weird or uncommon revision?

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    I just constructed a box similar to the one you have. Gonna try it on my SE and if that works well I'll use it on my 512k and Plus and post the results here!

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    Yeah, the high volumes of peroxide get really expensive. I end up having to dilute it pretty heavily too and I end up having nowhere to store it. I'm a broke student who doesnt have the money for large quantities of peroxide nor the means to store gallons of diluted peroxide.

    Using the Sun to restore a yellow Macintosh ☀️

    Interesting, I should look into building one then. I had a more janky led box a while back, but it didn't work well at all. I was considering getting some more heavy-duty UV lamps and mounting them to the containers lid and wrapping the outside with a thermal insulating tape.

    Restoring a Mac SE - My Journey So Far...

    I’ve thought about it, but I’ve been completely unable to find any of those drives for a reasonable price. I saw one on eBay for $150 and that’s it. If you have any other suggestions to where I should look, I would appreciate it.

    Restoring a Mac SE - My Journey So Far...

    I've made the same mistake while cleaning my drive heads on both of my 800k drives. I watched the video and attempted to repair the damage, but my drives still refuse to read any disks. I'm at a point to where I don't know where to go except fully emulating disks or finding a replacement 800k...
