    I shared a workaround that I found helpful here. https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/watched-forums-as-home-page.77/

    Compact Mac Caps List

    Nice work! It'd be nice to note the sizes for each cap, especially for analog boards. SMD size codes can be confusing to newcomers and some analog boards have some caps in odd sizes to provide enough clearance. For example IIRC there are a couple 330uF caps on the Color Classic AB and one of...

    Floppy Gears

    Huh, I'm surprised you didn't have a problem with elephants foot. Did you shorten the exposure time for the initial layers compared to a typical print?

    Resource Categories

    Might Resources be a good place to put recapping guides? It'd be nice to have something there before the site is opened up.

    Floppy Gears

    @Drake These do look good! What sort of support and angle setup did you use for these?

    Watched forums as home page

    For those that never want to see certain forums like Food & Cooking, Cars & Coffee or whole groups of forums like Acorn etc. (no offense), you can use a CSS element blocker to hide them. I'm using 1Blocker and it worked great for this. Here's an example showing a rule to block one of the trading...

    Dark mode vs. Light mode

    @Branchus I noticed the light theme doesn't have a forum collapsing widget like dark mode does. Can you add that in?

    Upgrading from a $40 858D to the $4,000 Metcal HCT-1000 & PCT-1000 hot air rework system

    In case someone happens to stumble on this thread and also has this setup, I found that the devices can be connected with a regular RJ11 telephone cable. Set the HCT-1000 to MRS mode and the preheater will function automatically based on the program settings of the hot air station. Just push the...

    DataDesk TK-3000 "TrackBoard"

    I share your love of ugly / weird keyboards. I'm hoping to some day find one of these.

    Big box software surprise

    This week I picked up a pair of 7500 and G3 desktops with a lovely Radius PrecisionColor 17" CRT. These awesome big boxes ended up being included. I especially love the wacky Prince of Persia NFR box. This is a great article covering the history of the weird shape game boxes.

    Upgrading from a $40 858D to the $4,000 Metcal HCT-1000 & PCT-1000 hot air rework system

    My watch had something on it I didn't want online. I wish I would have noticed and taken it off. It was such a pain to blur out on an otherwise off-the-cuff mediocre video. Maybe I'll make a nicer review once I spend some more time with it. I also ran my 858D >400ºC and just figured it wasn't...

    Anyone want to pool some cash together for a Twiggy Mac?

    I asked the auction manager what was up with the installed logic board being a shipping version and the one photographed being proto...

    Upgrading from a $40 858D to the $4,000 Metcal HCT-1000 & PCT-1000 hot air rework system

    I found some vacuum cups for it. I’m having so much fun booping chips!

    Request: Show parent forum name as prefix in watched forums

    It'd be nice to prefix watched forums with their parent's name. Like.. The Lab: Soldering and Repair Approved Vendors: Maceffects Trading Post: North America There are so many forums, that I'm using the watched forums as my homepage. Having this bit of detail will make it a little easier to...

    2.5" -> 3.5" SCSI adapter

    This doesn't answer your question but thought you might like to have a laugh at my homemade 34 to 50 pin SCSI adapter for the Macintosh Portable.

    Clamshell iBook no ethernet link

    Have you inspected the pins on the port? My first guess would be one or more of them is bent.

    Macintosh II & IIx replacement battery holders

    I prefer this other holder type for several reasons. The batteries are in an awkward spot under the drive carrier. It's easy to forget about them or to consider it not worth the effort to take them out when you store your Mac II or aren't sure if you'll use it for a long time. These carriers let...
