Just came to show-off this nice (and fully working) set I managed to put together... Got the right mouse and keyboard, the bag and made replicas of the floppies. I will maybe slightly retrobright the mouse and keyboard, and I need to amend a battery contact that was gone due to corrosion.

I had similar issues when moving from Symantec C++ 6 to 7. It seems that they didn't put much attention to make the TCL backwards compatible... So for the sake of simplicity, for the study group people should stick initially to the same version, or funky things will happen... and frustration too...

Cool. Txs! I'm in.

I’m really interested on this! I tried to do some development last year and managed to advance, but being in such group would increase motivation a lot. I’m more into C++ and I’ve been using Symantec C++ 7, but I’ll install these other tools in my PB145B… it can be a nice use for it. Is...

Hi. I think I'll go for a simpler solution... as this is the negative contact of the battery, I'll try to adapt one of these contacts with spring... If I get connectivity, I'd be happy enough.

Here you go... Half of the contact is gone, I didn't clean yet the remaining part

Hello, I got a 512K that is in pretty good shape, except for the battery holder, which has one contact gone due to corrosion. I guess this battery holder is not easy at all to find, but does anyone of you know about a practical approach to restore it, or to retrofit another solution? Txs!

The same "bad contact" issues you find with the ROMinator can occur with modern RAM SIMMs. I have a set of 4x4MB SIMMs that my SE/30 doesn't like at all because are too thin.

The technique is easy, but it's also easy to bridge the pads... I had a simasimac after the first try because I had a bridge I couldn't see without a good magnifier glass

I had a similar issue... https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/issue-with-rominator-ii-and-se-30-bad-contact.970/ My only stable solution was to add the layer of solder to the pads, combined with the @PotatoFi clips

Fantastic! Txs!

Indeed I forgot to say it's the international boards, so values aren't the same... The values are clear to me, what I seek actually are the ordering part numbers, because I always mess it with that.

I'm also curious about this

Hey, does anyone have the part numbers at DigiKey or Mouser for ordering the three RIFA caps of the analog board of the older Macs? Thanks!

Did you check the UE8/UF8 section? That trends to go bad with the cap goo...

It’s more for completing the laptop with its bag than using it on the field…

I was looking for some example of a suitable bag for my 145B and I couldn’t find anything… Anyone knows how were the bags for these models?

This could be a silly question, but... are you sure is the analog board? One of the chips UD8, UE8, UF8 (I don't remember which, I don't have the schematics handy) deals with the vertical synch and these chips trend to go bad with the cap juice... I had the horizontal line issue on mine and it...

Mystery solved then!

Yes, that’s indeed my question… what could be the “P”
