I recently acquired a Pismo, it's my first non-68k machine in my collection., I just figured I'd post a couple photos of it. The guy it came from used it for photo editing so I think it was very seldom moved around, so it was spared the normal damage from being banged around. It's a G3 400mhz...

I haven't yet, but thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. Unfortunately I probably can't work on the machine for a few days, but when I take it back out I'll give that a shot.

I'm not too familiar with the yoke adjustments, can the focus be changed that way? I am aware it's quite dangerous to work in there and proper precautions need to be taken.

I do have one I think works so that's my backup plan. I know that CRTs dim over time, though I didn't know they degrade in other ways too.

I just recapped the analog board on my SE/30. It had previously been extremely dim, with the brightness knob on the front turned all the way up it was barely visible. The brightness adjustment on the analog board couldn't get the screen any brighter. After the recap it now gets usably bright...

Thanks Elemenoh, they do look similar, that would make it relatively simple.

That was very informative, please thank Henry for putting that together. It's good to know that not all logic boards are up to driving 2mb, so it may end up just being a 1mb board, which is fine since it's still a piece of history. I need to come up with some sort of extension harness for the...

Yes I believe to be populated with 2mb, both jumpers at JB1 needs to be open as in the pic you linked. To be populated with 1mb total, based on how my board was set up when I got it, JB1 jumper 1 needs to be closed, and jumper 2 needs to be open. My post was a bit unclear, when I tried the...

I'm having some trouble with a RAM upgrade on my 512ke, and thought maybe people would have some ideas. I picked up this machine a few months back, it is equipped with a Sophisticated Circuits SCSI board and a Mac's-a-Million RAM expansion board. As you can see in the photo the RAM expansion...

That's quite a keyboard, I've never seen one like it.

I'm looking forward to the updates as well, some years back I had a couple SGI machines I really regret selling, it's nice to see someone bringing them back to life.

Thanks Kai, I look forward to exploring and being involved in the forum. @JDW invited me to join the beta test, which I very much appreciate! Jeff
