I've managed to find near identical rivets used in the Macintosh to hold the vinyl jacket. Some of the older Macs used two sided sponge tape, I would suggest to scrub off that tape and replace it with these. I've also seen people lose them or break them, so I think some folks may need...

I have a Mac Plus which gets stuck on "Welcome to Macintosh" when trying to boot up from a BlueSCSI. I've tried a different analog board, switching out the rom, and switching out the ram. It gets stuck the same way. The BlueSCSI works fine on another board. I've tried 4MB and 2MB ram...

I've created a 3d printed case for a 90 degree angled BlueSCSI. This allows for a clean look. It will fit all compact Macs. It's made from 3 printed pieces so that both sides of the case can have a smooth matte finish. It has a simple design with only an opening for the SD card slot...

Hi All, I got a Mac Plus which was in pretty bad condition. The previous owner was trying to fixed it, but was looking in all the wrong places. I managed to mostly restore it, but one final issue, the screen is extremely stretched. Has anyone seen this, or has any suggestions? Here is a...

Here is a list of all the capacitors needed for recapping the 630-0108 240v analog board for the Mac 128k, Mac 512k, and Mac Plus. This analog board can run on either 120v or 240v. It will operate on 120v if wire W12 is in place, and in 240v if wire W12 is removed. These are the highest...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a type or brand of glue I should use to reattach an Apple badge? The original glue seems like a yellow layer of goo, and it's still very sticky after 30 years. I want to avoid using things like super glue or epoxy to allow the badge to be removed again...

The Atari 2600 voltage regulator has an aluminum heatsink. This heatsink is mounted to the pcb board via a small leg, which can easily break off over the years. I noticed my leg was broken when I went to replace the voltage regulator. Instead of buying a new heatsink, I noticed you can...

I've been looking at the safest ways to restore the color of the Mac without over bleaching the unit or leaving streak marks. Because the inside of a Mac 128/512/Plus is coated with a conductive covering, I want to avoid submerging the case into hydrogen peroxide as it induces...

Hi All, Knowing that anyone working on a Compact Mac must have a T15 Torx screwdriver, I just wanted provide a link to where I found a great quality one at an excellent price. It cost under $10 shipped from China, and the great part is that they will ship anywhere worldwide without high shipping...

Hi all, I have a Mac Plus analog board 630-0102 (non-international) which I just can't seem to get to work properly Symptoms - No bong - Logic board has steady 4.07v output on the 5v rail via floppy port - Logic board has -9.94v on the -12v rail via floppy port - Adjusting the voltage pot on...

As you can see in the photo, the flyback wire on this Mac Plus analog board somehow snapped off. I would like to confirm that it's ok to soldier this back on. Will that hold? Could the high voltage/high temperature generated by the component cause it to break again soon after? The transformer...
