That looks great. I've got a "bruised" CC emblem and now I have a way to address it!

If you just work the keys in question (bang on them continuously like a wild monkey) for a while they should start to work again. You can pull the caps and use a drop of alcohol or contact cleaner, but I've only found that to be rarely necessary. They should come back their own after a while...

Very nice!

Go search on eBay for "prison TV". You will find many options. I picked one up for my clear Apple IIe.

I wish - 2014 Subaru Legacy! Sitting behind a 1948 International Harvester 😀

This one doesn't work - yet. Severely needs caps. Big bad tuna smell. Hope things aren't too corroded in there.

Well, you get one LaserWriter to work and then this happens... wife was unimpressed!

You don't _have_ to replace the RIFAs, but chances are they will go soon - if it hasn't already. Other than making a stinky mess, it shouldn't take out anything important inside the power supply or the machine in general. Machine should still run with it in a failed state. If it were me, I'd...

I have a couple. Do you want pictures, or do you want an original, preferably on loan?

Just pulling your leg, man :)

Watching with interest. A *BSD image would be fun - especially if you've done all the work! :-)

Looks great! So the ribbon cable is being soldered down to the underside of the IIgs logic board? No criticism implied, but would there be a way to do this that's more reversable? I guess de-soldering wires wouldn't be that bad.

Glad I could help :)

Must not, no, don't, argh, ask about the lens cap.........

I can just see that in my will... "... and I bequeath my two tenths of one percent of a vintage Macintosh to...

Same here. I have a variety of different Zip disks to do system diags and installs. Need to also build some Jaz disks for redundancy (and fun!)

First Apple: Apple ][+ First Mac: 128K Favorite Mac: SE/30, but I cheat on it with my TAM from time to time Strengths: Can remember where I put that one part Weaknesses: Things that need repairing, Mazda RX-7, Ice Cream Mod Rating: I don't know... roast me Have been messing with Apple and other...

Good call, but the pins in the port are all lined up... When I get some other stuff off my bench, I'll pop this guy open and check out the connection of the port to it's board. I _can_ use an Airport card, so all is not lost, but on-board ethernet is so very convenient sometimes :)

Here is the NVRAM FAQ: http://www.obsolyte.com/sunFAQ/faq_nvram.html Glitchworks makes a nice little replacement board that lets you use a coin cell battery. You need some Dremel and soldering skills, but it's a nice long-term replacement. I've done about a dozen of these over time...

Both Sun keyboards/mice and the 13W3 adapters to VGA can be found on eBay. Or I can send you a keyboard/mouse - I have plenty! Not handy to me now, but if you search for the Sun NVRAM FAQ it will tell you more about what you need to do to fix that problem. And, if you want to sell or trade...
