My Macintosh M0110a keyboard cables are in various states and could use some restoration. The winding in one of the cables was pretty bad so I wanted to fix it. The cables also needed a good cleaning. Here's how I went about this as well as my results. Interestingly, none of the 6 cables...

If anyone would like any, PM me, I think I can just stuff some in a regular envelope.

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...

The bracket doesn't seem to be designed in the correct orientation. The customer facing plate should be the bottom of the print to allow it to have a nice matte finish, rather than the 3d printed look. Implementing an SD card extension cable, such as mentioned by Kai, into the designed would...

So it turns out floppy controller doesn't even work on this logic board. On boot, if a floppy is in the drive, the logic board doesn't even try to read from the connected floppy drive when a disk is inserted. It behaves as if there is no floppy drive even connected. I did verify the floppy...

It’s the Hitachi power supply. Notice the text “S’PORE PTE LT” match. https://console5.com/store/macintosh-se-30-power-supply-apple-820-0385-a-hitachi.html Seems to have went Aztec -> Hitachi -> Sony from what I’ve seen with Aztec used in ‘89, Hitachi in ‘90, and Sony ‘91, roughly.

Thanks for the suggestions to help narrow this down. Unfortunately I don't have an external SCSI hard drive. I'll need to create a floppy boot disk and try it to see if that works. I'll also try to boot from different OS version to see if that helps with anything.

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...

Issue came back today after hot gluing the components down. I noticed that moving the analog board with a pen would result in flickers and issues partially going way. This helped narrowed it down to cold solder joints. From a distance it's kind of hard to notice.... But once you really zoom...

Fixed! Full recap resolved the issue! It's kinda odd because the board has been already recapped once, but perhaps a long time ago. I think they also missed a couple caps. I did some additional reflows, so that also could've helped. Along the way I also noticed the ROM on the logic board...

I reflowed the connector at L2. The component itself is very clean and no spillage onto it from the C1 capacitor. Not sure if contact cleaner could provide any additional help. I also verified the inductance against a working board and have values are equal. Later on I may just try swapping...

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...

You would probably need to disable the horizontal, vertical, and video circuits. Surely possible, but will require multiple modifications. You should consider using a Macintosh II instead, such as the Macintosh IIci. Same architecture, and you can connect to LCD or a one of those portrait...

H2O2 is dangerous. Always make sure to use gloves when handling, treat it same as bleach. Inhaling and skin contact are two different things. CDC lists that vapor at only 75ppm would be deadly (compared to 1,200 ppm for carbon monoxide). This CDC document has great information about the...

Congratulations! Great to hear you didn’t need to spend lots of time on troubleshooting. If someone starts selling kits with all the available parts already included (only transplant parts missing), I can image this will get more popular. Lots of boards out there with leaked batteries, and as...

Highly recommend against this. I tried this out initially, this will cause the water to heat unevenly and anything with-in close proximity of the heater will get bleached stains. Buy a cheap used sous vide instead.

Your list seem to be missing C14, as well as the two safety capacitors C33 & C37. One important number you're missing is the lead spacing,. JDW did a great video on recapping this board a couple years ago. I highly recommend you watch it if you haven't. He also provides a link to a Mouser cart...

Great job! How many of the original components and ports did you end up not being able to reuse? I see the ram ports are different, but what about the rom and expansion slot, are those new as well? Did it work on your first boot?

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...
