Step 1. I’ve confirmed I can pull 12v, ground, and the composit video out from the pins on the DB-15 connector. For those wondering, pin 8 is 12v, pin 12 is the composite video signal, and pin 13 is ground. Worked great with my existing screen and controller. The video is somewhat small on the...

I've heard boiling the belt can help with the belt. But to be clear, my belt appeared fine and was not slipping, so I left it alone. For me, it was the rubber roller on the rod slipping even when I could see the wheel attached to the belt was spinning appropriately. And boiling may work on...

Not sure if the mechanism is similar to that on the slot loaded powerbooks, but I believe on mine, it was a problem that the rubber sleeve on the roller for ejecting the CD was slipping on the metal rod it was installed on. I believe you can fix it by removing it and boiling it to shrink it...

I have an IIc and IIc Plus. I've seen @Javmast3r's video changing the B&W LCD from the original LCD kit for the IIc. However, those are in short supply and are getting expensive. iPad LCDs with control boards are cheap and relatively decent quality (e.g...

My problem with submersion is the amount of peroxide wasted. I've been on the same bottle of 40vol creme and have done probably a dozen cases (from a 512k to a 5400 to a 6100. I also worry about floating. I need to find a good method for keyboards / keys. keyboard cases are good, and...

Out of curiousity, when you got marbling, were you doing the plastic wrap method in the sun? Or the same, controlled LED panels?

Your photoshop skills are unmatched!

OK, sign me up for a spool. It's a lot, but I want to make this happen, and I'll be willing to print parts for others with the spool when I get it.

I guess when I hear someone say "never, ever, ever do" something, it makes me believe there is a flaw in the method and a high chance of failure, even when following the steps correctly. However, when you explain the perceived risk, it sounds like what you are saying is there is a risk that can...

I'm in for a spool if it's reasonable total cost. How much is the base spool cost? So cost would be spool cost + (total shipping to US / number of people buying) + shipping from US location to individual?

Out of curiosity, what is the concern with plastic wrap? I've had more problems with the creme drying on devices during the process without a wrap than using the wrap method. Other than doing it wrong (i.e. having air pockets or not wrapping completely), what is the risk of plastic wrap to...

I had also tested the continuity of the cable, and from the contacts in the connection in the female jack to the boards and it seemed fine. I also tried to push back the wires inside the female jack to their original position (some of them had been pushed down and were siting further back than...

Basically, I just took an old storage bin my son had used for hydro-dipping (hence it looks terrible from the outside), lined the inside of the bin and the lid with heavy duty aluminum foil and reflective foil tape, the got a 50 foot spool of LEDs...

Yeah, I recently switched from using the sun to building a UV box where I have much better control over everything. I've had a few splotchy results because I think I left it too long in the hot sunlight and the peroxide dried or there were air bubbles formed under the plastic wrap. Since...

So, I was able to find enough functioning floppies from my box of estate sale bargain bin floppies to cover the 3 disks needed for DOS 6.2.2, one for the Apple utilities, and 6 for Windows 3.1, and now I officially have a working dual boot System 8 / Win 3.1 machine! Pics of the floppy...

Progress update! I removed the CPU, took off the heat sink, applied new thermal compound, and reseated the CPU (it was properly aligned when I removed it, and appeared to be fully seated). Tried one more time to boot and IT WORKED! I get video out. I was able to create a DOS boot disk from...

Sadly, no. I'm in the Charlotte, NC area. I'll check around locally and see if I can find one. When I looked, the CPU seemed seated properly, but I might try to pop it out and re-seat it. Really appreciate all the advice!

So this basically turns your SE into an LC form factor?

Recently picked up a 512k from Facebook marketplace as a non-booting machine. After pickup, quickly removed the battery (which had started leaking and actually corroded the battery holder metal tab to the point where it broke off when I removed the battery. Anyway, I inspected the inside of...

Unfortunately, my new SIMM arrived and I was still unable to get it past the "PC is booting" phase. No video out on the PC side at all. I did try with the version of the PC Compatibility software, running on System 7.6 and still no luck. I also added a PRAM battery temporarily to make sure...
