This is amazing! Thank you!

Could you please load up your 3D files here? In case of 3rd party storage places remove the files. Many times we find old articles (many decades old) about some solutions for our vintage problems, but the attached files are not available anymore. So, please, load up your 3D model here.

If you have any question (technical or purchasing) about Fetch, Jim Matthews ([email protected]) will answer for sure. He still works on Fetch and still does support it by himself. Amazing guy! (I have purchased Fetch, but I had problem for the registration on classic Mac OS versions...

I have bought from GC electronics my TV alignment tools many years ago. www.gcelectronics.com Open this PDF: https://www.gcelectronics.com/order/SubCatPDF/alignment%20tools%20Kits%20380-387.pdf search for the part number 18-530, it is on the page 369. You need the Tool, PartNo: 8282 and 9304 to...

It had a reason - any - why Apple decided to design & manufacture this complex part. It is possible to see, each has an evolution, development cycles. AND: it is part of the computers we restore and enjoy using them. This is "maybe" not relevant for functionality - but as we see, sometimes yes -...

Thank you, @CroissantKing. As I am not an expert of high-frequency hardware engineering, I can not fully answer your question. I was thinking on the way: if Apple decided to add different kind of RFI/EMI shields, and possible to follow the evolution of these shields, probably they are important...

As a side work of my rebuilding of the Macintosh 512K, I ended up recreating the RFI shields for the 512K. Then, I thought I should do it for all early compact Macs, like the 128K, 512K, Plus and SE, SE/30. I have one good condition RFI shied for the Mac Plus - so I started with the recreation...

Ahmmmm... well, I didn't check the deadline, just posted my pictures... I've seen right now the deadline was 31st August. 🥺😢 Maybe, if possible, close/lock the thread to prevent new posts.

Amazing pictures, here are mine. Two. Completely. Different.

3/4 year later... I just find your topic @wottle Did you had some success? I developed an adapter board to connect HDMI output to ADC Acryl Cinema Display. What I learned during the project is to make sure your external power supply gives enough power (amperes) to your monitor! I use/set mine...

Following... I have exactly the same card, with the serial number A14267, but with the DB9 connector. :oops: Did you find any drivers or more information about the card?

@Kai Robinson - Thank you. This is that what I was talking about a year (OMG!) ago. I will test, and if something need correction I will come back to this topic. ((In this time I have almost zero time to be active member of this community, my collection is also waiting for better time...

Sorry for the late reply. My problem is "before" the voltage regulator. This is directly after the big yellow fuse. (You can see in the original post's photos) The BSR16 is the 2nd component after the power input. The original voltage regulator is an LD1117ADT33TR and I have exactly the same for...

@Kai Robinson Finally, the BSR16 arrived. Soldering was 5 minutes, trying: magic smoke... :-( Based on the datasheet from Mouser, the pin2 (bottom right) is the emitter, but it gets 24.5V... it should get 5V. What am I missing? Is it possible the original component has mirrored pinout? from...

I was able to do "better" photo about the damaged component: What could be this? Does any of you knows it? I removed it from the board and checked the pads: the bottom right is the power, 24.5V, connected directly to the fuse's pin, the top pin/pad is GND, the bottom left is connected to...

I purchased for postage an aluminum Cinema Display 23" with the DVI / USB / FW / Power connectors cable a few months ago. It was marked as repaired, but after few minutes of usage it was flickering a little and then went black - power off the LCD. That time I had no time, but I read after and...

No. Those first generation Macintosh models with 400k or 800k drives are entirely different. Not only the size than the way of data management is different. The ROM and the IWM contents too. Only the Apple SuperDrive able to handle "modern" floppy formats (PC and Mac) because the data storage...

@Certificate of Excellence May guess is not the manufacturer or the size of the disk, then the SATA "backward compatibility". My G5 A1047 has a 1TB hard disk connected to the logic board's SATA controller. This disk works in any G4 I own. The SanDisk SSD is already 4 or 5 years old and the...

@Certificate of Excellence I finally did multiple tries and I can report, the SSD size OVER 128 GB is "not really supported" with the vintage PowerMac... What does it mean "not really supported"? It is up to your SSD's manufacturer, your SATA controller and your Mac's Logic Board and of course...

These disks are amazing, but after 30 years they can have lot of problems. First of all, your disk is reparable - in my opinion from far - based on the pictures. The burned out component possible to see on the high resolution picture on Wikipedia's page, the component is the C12 capacitor...
