Finally got around to ordering RAM from OWC for my Pismo
Was about to win an Apple High Resolution Monitor for really cheap but someone sniped me by a dollar in the last few seconds... :'(
It's not a crime to think about yourself, from time to time. It's OK to focus on what you want to do, even if what you want to do is nothing much at all.
Relax, kick back and enjoy your life - we're only here once, so make the most of the time you have.

The dual 7457 card finally got here - time to try it out!
Possibly picking up two 20" Cinema displays from Facebook Marketplace today
It ain’t much but it’s honest work.

Tonight I'm breathing life back into my recently acquired 128k
Still needs a wash and a re-cap and this bad boy will be disappointing future generations for... generations!

Here's another mod, this time with transparent 3D printing filament as a light pipe:
Originally these SNES Jr. (SNS-101) don't have an LED power indicator at all. This simple mod (with my own twist, the light pipe) tidies up what feels like a "missing" feature.
For this console I also removed the tabs on the interior of the cartridge bay. These tabs are added by Nintendo to prevent imported carts from working. I had planned to recap it but when I took the original OEM caps out and measured their Vloss and ESR it was clear they were all high quality caps in excellent condition.
Next up is to brew up my own RGB amplifier mod, which I think will close this project out.

Just got some nice 68000 in the mail 
Very happy with my accomplishments for my first Marchintosh
Finally found why the N64 logic board - which I got a great deal on - wouldn’t start (no sound / video).
two pads (AD6 & AD9) had a break directly where the trace meets the pad. A quick bodge (once you find it) and I’m playing GoldenEye!

When you want to test a RGB mod but don't want to wait for a PCB. Each wire is 0.25mm 
Latest pickup. This IIsi is filthy and stinky but at least it's not battery bombed!
Working on getting Classic Mac Environment working on my Tiger Mac Mini tonight
So....Dual 7457's...overclocked to 1.2GHz @ 1.3v by the infamous herd - will shortly be headed my way for my QS board
