Apart from removing the speaker is there anything else that should be removed before I give the Classic II A/B a bath?

Easier said than done in Australia, but I might end up scrapping a Classic II I have if it's boards continue to trouble me. I know I'd have to change over the yoke gear.. not that hard.

I have two SE/30's here that I'm restoring (recapping boards currently). Unfortunately one of the CRT's has a couple of physical chips in it - looks like it was whacked with a screwdriver or something. Otherwise it's OK. The other is externally OK, but when powered up there's a couple of pure...

This is cool. I have a very similar scope and had the same issue with a SE/30 recently. Weekend project coming up..! Thanks for the inspiration!

I switched to Amtech flux not long ago, so was very interested in Bruce's recent video's on the whole fluxgate shenanigans... and was surprised today that when my NC-559-V2-TF delivery arrived Amtech had included a free sample tube of Sample #88. I was literally in the middle of removing the...

Thanks! Good excuse to fire up the printer when I get to work today!

I have a SE/30 here that someone man-handled rather badly in its past and broke the clips (ie both ends) of the ROM SIMM holder. They had then used supaglue (cyanoacrylate) to hold it all together. The glue has aged and cracked so the SIMM doesn't mate correctly now. Other than replacing the...

I've got a 10L cleaner coming and am going to try this stuff which is produced locally here in Sydney - specifically calls out PCB cleaning and use with ultrasonic cleaners. It's pretty cheap (AUD$15/L), plus I can pick it up from local electronics store - so no shipping.

Ah don't worry - I'll sort it when I need to. Don't want you to damage yours on my behalf!!

@jajan547 don't suppose you got some pics of the LCD? Mine is very dim and when I dig it out of storage I'd like to replace the 1602 if I can.

I've watched that vid before - it's probably the slickest video you'll find for a tool like this!

Out of stock.. doh.

Cool! I have a dead Plus/4 and have been wondering how to revive it.

Correct, they match what's in the archive.

Are there any differences between A/B's delivered to US vs international? ie in the same way as there are with 128K's etc..? I'm assuming any differences are within the PSU itself..

No photos handy, but came with: * CPU Tests Vol 3, v 1.0 * CPU Tests Vol 1, v 1.1.1 * SCSI HD Tests, v 1.0 So nothing fancy or interesting from what I can tell..

Hey, I'm based in Australia, and recently acquired a TechStep (and commented on the other site). Haven't used it in anger yet, but looking forward to having a play with it.
