    Scored a IIfx lot with extras

    They were a community machine shop in SJ/RWC, looks like they closed a couple years ago.  You could have had one bent into shape from sheet metal there for you, the design is simple enough... @slomacuser Very cool!

    @olePigeon Glad I could help!  Unfortunately this lot is still in Germany :)   But the stand seems easy enough to make if you have access to any decent workshop.  Mabe ask someone over at the TechShop if they still exist?

    SE FDHD Estate Sale

    @LaPorta No, just put droplets on the affected areas and let is sit until it evaporates, then add more to wet it and gently scrub with a toothbrush.  Final rinse with IPA

    SE FDHD Estate Sale

    Someone mentioned vinegar, I like to use oxalic acid.  It removes and sometimes reversed oxidation.  Breaks up caustic battery electrolyte wonderfully

    PowerBook 150 - screens all destroyed?!

    How would that work, how would you control the polarization angle? It must be 90° from the rear film

    PowerBook 160 help (broken hinge mount)

    PB190, is it the worst? (Probably).

    IIRC it wasn't too hard to add one, tapping into the trackball, because ADB is a parallel topology

    SE FDHD Estate Sale

    Oh man. When I got to the part where you said you saw the maxwell bomb I thought "impossible! The base SEs don't have those and the wired batteries I've never seen leak" then I saw someone has clipped the original battery out, installed a socket, and put a dirty bomb inside It may be...

    Yes, the stand has a sticker on it by Raduis - the other big player in Mac graphics.   But nothing more identifying than that like a model Bonus underside shot showing reinforcements made in corners and under the top

    Scored a IIfx lot with extras

    Just did an acid soak and preliminary scrub with soapy water.  The ASIC looks fine.  The Zilog is missing 1 pin which I think I can fix and the 2 onboard RAM are shot.  Also lots of missing traces.  Those I can handle, but I worry for the vias that go to inside layers.  I'll have to get the...

    Here is the damage.  It's bad but not terrible - I'm going to give it a shot.  Luckily I have the other IIf to reference for parts and surface traces

    A Mac IICI WIth no ROM SIMM, BAD PSU, BAD FLOPPY

    That corrosion isn't all that bad, use vinegar to neutralize it then scrub and rinse with toothbrush+IPA As to the PSU, check the low voltage side's caps for leakage and/or dryness (test out of circuit)

    Scored a IIfx lot with extras

    Yeah I can't use my back when moving it, this one has 3 BNC as well ( R, G, B ) Vielleicht! But it only just appeared in my saved searches a couple weeks ago, so unless the seller updated the listing I can't say.... Außerhalb von MUC? The board doesn't appear all that bad from the inside the...
