Been a minute everyone, sorry for that. I got a new job and moved. I also had to spend major time repairing my 3d printer once I moved it here as well. It's back in action and I am eager to keep working on the Mac Minus. I started remodeling the Minus from the beginning, mainly so it can...

This is peak design

I recently got an Apple 2c and it has what appears to be the “bad” keyboard. I think it’s the 1.D on Deskthourity. It appears this is the less desirable keyboard and I can confirm it feels awful. I watched a bunch of reviews on cleaning the thing and any with this keyboard described it as...

Some companies are trying to miniaturize CRT jumbotrons. There is hope for the future! Although micro-LED tech might mean these are already on their way to obsolescence.

For me, it started with the magic of electrons hitting phosphor screens. Now I find learning to use and maintain an older system is helping my understanding of modern computing, and I'm fascinated by the adaptations and modifications people have made to keep these machines working in the modern...

Finally got my printer working with a new nozzle. First time using a .6mm but I have to say, I can't tell any reduction in surface quality and I love the time savings. Bottom part of the mouse only took 90 minutes. Top should be done in another 90. Hopefully I can get the buttons working...

The ridiculous USB-C port in the original keyboard port is gonna work:

Not mine! I'm quite interested in the Vectrex, but they are out of my price range. I've seen videos of people converting NTSC TVs to vector displays (seems like vector is theoretically simpler) and I was curious how large the Vectrex is compared to a Mac. They both have 9 inch displays but I...

Inspiration found while looking at Vectrex stuff:

There's a paintbrush in one of those photos! But only because I was thinking of using the end of it as a cast mold sprue for another project :P The brass things are some kind of coolant channels from an old gas laser's cooler my friend and I took apart about 15 years ago. I kept them because...

Eric and Wottle; thanks a million!

Failed print on the keyboard, but it works for some test fitting.

Thank you, both! Trying it now.

[I hope this is the correct sub forum] Hi all, If you've seen my posts, you'll know I have a Mac Plus 1mb I'd like to get working. The floppy drive seems busted. In the meantime, I got a RASCSI in hopes of running the OS off of it. Unfortunately every guide I've found to boot from it...

I think I have to try to match the Platinum of Apple computers, no? first coat of primer done: lots of filling ahead

Case v2 done printing:

Small update; I was a bit discouraged after the new pi arrived because I couldn't seem to get a composite signal into the TV without noise from what I assume is the TV tuner. Other sources have a strong enough signal that there is no noise, so long as I have a dummy plug in the RCA jack to turn...

I have a 16:9 10 inch amber CRT I'd like to adapt this guide for. I have a similar problem to interfacing with a Macintosh as it's a custom signal and not NTSC or PAL. Text looks crisp in that guide. This screen is from a word processor, so that's perfect.

Thanks Volvo. I stripped that screw..... I'll have to figure a way to get it out.
