    Molar Mac issues

    Howdy! I’m looking for some advice on fixing a G3 AIO “Molar Mac”. If I disconnect the CRT display cables from the wings card then it’ll boot perfectly fine with an external screen. However if i try to use the internal display then it doesn’t work. On start up there’s no chime, no LED, but...

    Restoring SE/30 - Melted/damaged CRT power and CRT residue

    Hi all! I am working on restoring my first classic Mac, an SE/30. I've started to dive in and have ordered capacitors and such, cleaned it, taken out the PRAM battery, et cetera.

    Diagonal lines on Macintosh Plus (Solved)

    I was running a longer duration test of my Mac Plus (with 030 accelerator) and came back into the room to find the picture was gone and replaced with diagonal lines and the image was stretched beyond the edges of the CRT. I tested my voltages and they are stable and within spec on 12.0v and...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Hello! :) I tried to find if there was a thread already here on Tinker Different about this but have not. Some people did talk about it elsewhere, though. So, here I go.

    Anyone else have extreme difficulty removing the Color Classic analog board after all cables have been removed. I watched @Branchus' video on the removal and his slides right out. Is it possible the edge connectors are fused somehow. I've used a good amount of force and cannot get it to...
