So does your sale of the unit controller include the rom disks or whatever is needed to scan each model?

To finally end this, joshc was right. There were a couple bad ram slots. All good now!

There's just no way. Who names a site canpharm.top? No reviews or information at all anywhere. The generic shopping images don't make me feel too comfortable either. Although I did do a reverse image search, and it is a unique photo...

How are the caps? You should probably replace the few electrolytics on there, unless you got lucky and it doesn't have them. They usually only affect power, but you never know. Also, could it be a RAM issue?

Oh, yeah its the AppleTalk server that wont work.

None of you ran into the issues I did with a 3? Something in one of the packages installed looks for a 4 CPU or something and won't run correctly and causes it to crash.

ABS over PLA any day. PLA in an electrical environment like this will break down or warp due to heat.

...or make the first LCD conversion without feeling bad ruining a good one.

How tight is the belt? Guessing at this point in time, it would not be unusual for the belts to start stretching out and slipping. The carriage, at least as I remember it, has some resistance when you move it manually. I don't think there should be any belt slack.

Looks good! Did you need to retrobrite or was it still white?

At this point, wouldn't the last suspect be the logic board? Not really familiar with the ImageWriters.

If you want a very reliable Mac for 24hr usage, recap the logic board and PSU, or get it done by someone like Amiga of Rochester. Otherwise, for random whatever use, a logic board recap should be okay for now, unless the PSUs in these are known to go too?

Wasn't there some sort of issue installing OS 9 if you already had OS X installed, or was it the other way around? OS 9 required special drivers, but I can't remember if you can install it after installing OS X. Is there a separate drive available to try a clean install?

Third on broken gear. The originals are made to break. The replacements, not so much... But oh well.

Noticed this on my IIs as well, my IIx had black slots, my current IIfx had white slots, and my IIfx from years ago had black slots.
