Whenever I first power on my Power Macintosh 9600, it freezes once or twice during OS load, or directly after, and then it works fine. Furthermore, upon first boot, the chime is crackly, but then it is perfectly smooth upon reboot. It's only when first booted after more than a few hours being...

Bruce is awesome, and I've already identified other necessary components because of him. Thank you for the link to the overlay. There is also another possibility: I don't have a clue what I am talking about, and I am likely wrong whenever I say something I think I know about tech lol. I will...

I already intend to recap the Color Classic's analog board, but I've run into non-Mac Trinitron displays showing way too much green as they get older, usually with 80s and early 90s TV sets. Some people say it's the guns in the CRT itself, while others say it's the transistors driving the guns...

Your advice thus far and in advance is quite appreciated. Thank you very much.

True, CRTs are definitely built like tanks. Just as heavy, too. However, in my experience with all Trinitrons (including TVs), a green tint starts to develop due to the other guns starting to wear out (according to other and multiple sources). That's why I'm suspecting that it's happening to...

@retr01 My RL62 is alright for now, not really nearly as toasty, and I was told the Zener diodes are 1N59 when an awesome Youtuber named Bruce of Branchus Creations took a quick look at his analog board after working on a Color Classic logic board. The photo I posted, on the other hand, is a...

I have the typical burning resistor and pair of diodes on my Color Classic analog board (photo of problem area provided, with resistor and diodes circled in red). 2 of them, actually, same exact issue. They both work, but I'd rather not push my luck and fix them while I can. Can someone please...
