    How to test flyback transformer with multimeter?

    Is it possible to test a flyback for a Color Classic using a multimeter without removing it from the analog board? I've replaced most of the caps on the analog board but I'm trying to determine if I should keep going & replace the rest of them or I shouldn't bother because the flyback's dead.

    Joe's Mac Racks

    Mix and match of cases. A case I bought from someone who was working on a see-through case. The bottom IIci has the bottom of the see-through and the top IIci has the top of it. I can't decide which I prefer. The plexiglass is falling out of the bottom part of it. I only have 1 working IIci...

    PowerBook 100 screen recap

    I'm doing this exact repair & my L3 broke a leg as well while I was desoldering it. Appears to be pretty common. What should I replace it with? I'm shopping for 150uH's but what Maximum DC Current do I need? Mouser has up to 50 A.

    iMac G5 revival

    I’ve avoided this like the plague up till now because of how hard they are to recap but my son loves his old CD-ROMs so I thought I’d give it a go: recapping an iMac G5. What’s better for this: hot air or iron at a high temp? Any caps that are more susceptible than others to try first to reduce...
