Hello all! Hopefully this tip will help someone in the future. ☺️ My friend sent me a Macintosh SE/30 that was previously recapped, but the previous person didn't clean the pads before putting new caps on. Therefore, it had to be recapped again! Their machine was getting the dreaded Simasimac...

The seller I ordered from (who unfortunately only had one), had it delivered just 4 days after I purchased it. Of course your mileage may vary, but it worked out perfect for me.

Yes! A number of creative and smart individuals are doing just this. Check out this thread where Kai talks about his project on recreating the Macintosh SE board. I also believe a Classic, SE/30, LC, and other boards are in the works by similarly bright individuals.

I totally forgot to report back in... 😅 I ended up ordering the ATTEN ST-862D, I found it on eBay for $191 shipped. I've been using it since the middle of November and I totally love it. It gives me a lot of power when I need it, and has made a lot of things much easier. It also gets hotter...

Nice find! Certainly get those original caps sorted. C49 is certainly a leaky one! May you have a quicker restoration than I did. ;)

Haha! Well after it died again… I did get it working! A small trace by a resistor pack was not connecting to a via. I fixed that and I got the rounded corners and a cursor! It still is acting a bit odd and will freeze, but I’m making progress! 😁

Awesome! :) This past summer I saw Techmoan do a video about those printers and picked one up. I set up a photo booth at VCF East this past October, and it was a huge hit! I'll have to do it again this year. As you noted, the printed images are surprisingly sharp. (y)

Nice work, now THAT'S tinkering different! 🎉

The SE-BUS PC Drive Card is a PDS card from 1987 for the Macintosh SE (not SE/30) models which allows them to connect to the Apple PC 5.25 floppy drive. This drive will read 5.25″ floppy disks that are formatted for PCs (MS-DOS, etc). This pinout is for the cable that goes between the SE-Bus...

I'm glad to hear you have made some progress. Besides the drivers you found, I cannot find anything better for Leopard. A lot of cards got support around Panther and Tiger, most (to my knowledge) didn't get the same support in Leopard, or they "just work" or "just don't". Hm, maybe it's...

I would totally buy it from you! I have another display but no cable. :O Please DM/PM me any details you need.

You may have checked already, but has the fuse blown? In the thread you linked to someone mentioned some models have a fuse in one of the legs.

It certainly looks like it, I hope you bought it!

Interesting. Do you have any other SCSI devices to try? Did the driver you install specifically support Leopard? Do you have another adapter for the LS-2000 to try? I assume you've checked all the SCSI voodoo regarding termination, etc.

Excellent work! 🎉 I’m curious, is your Analog Board marked as “1983” or “1983-1984”. I have one of each so it would be interesting to note if there are any differences. Thanks again for your contributions!

I have two PowerBook 5300 / 5300cs series machines and sadly they are both not in the best shape. While trying to fix them up I removed the LCD screen and took note of the capacitors to make this guide. The PowerBook 5300 series shpped with a few different LCD panels, but even similar models may...

I've been playing around with a few Power Mac G5 systems. I did a (very, very) long live stream on reminding myself which G5 systems I had. And with the help of Sean of Action Retro, Lauren and a few folks, I got Adélie Linux (64-bit) installed on my Dual 2.0 GHz G5. Sadly the Quad G5 didn't...

Exciting! And thank you so kindly for thinking of me when placing those pesky resistor nets. 😉 I’m looking forward to getting one, or a dozen!

Yay! Glad you got it working again! 🎉

Don't question it! Cover the whole thing in resin and don't breathe on it! 😂
