    Anyone have an SE speaker?

    To be fair, the reason I shared the link is because JDW is an electrical engineer and I figured that might support the view that it’s perfectly acceptable and won’t hurt the sound circuitry of an SE. Of course, others had validated before I proposed the solution and I cannot see a material...

    Anyone have an SE speaker?

    I've sold over 100 of these speakers with zero complaints other than folks commenting of the Ohm (8 vs 63) difference. JDW discusses this in his video at the time sampled link Extensive testing has been performed to ensure it will work and not hurt the Mac.

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    My iMac G3 700mhz is in a sad shape with a cracked bezel, grinding hard drive, and popping at the fly back transformer, and in need of capacitor replacements. I've put off doing anything with this until I know I can actually put it back together!

    Reverse-engineering the Lapis ProColorServer 8 II

    I have the Verilog emulation of a NuBus video card, however, 12v <> 5v and PCB design for it is beyond our skill level.

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    Yes, that will be back in stock tonight! I'm beyond thrilled it reached the goal. It is too late to save many older Macs but now the iMac G3 machines can certainly be saved! The iMac bezel issue is a combination of heat, sunlight, general age, and mostly the chemistry of the plastic (fire...

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    Those will be a stretch goal of only $2500 more than the primary goal. If met all bezels will include them.

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    That was a major factor for sure. But it makes the Color Classic a viable option to make a case for but mainly for aesthetics. The mold is smaller and cheaper and way more demand. Sadly those aren’t nearly as brittle so it won’t be to helpful. Doing the iMac G3 bezel now keeps these machines...

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    Given the massive cost and so few remaining theres just no way. It would be like a $65k goal and the chances are near zero.

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    Oh and no, these won’t be for the earlier tray loading models.

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    Yes, these will come in original light gray and a clear option, of course. I did make 6100 feet for what it’s worth. If this is successful, other Macs may be considered. The 500 series are too far gone to work given the cost of massive tooling. But PowerBooks, LC pizza box, Color Classic, are...

    NEW Injection Molded - iMac G3 Inner Bezels

    Coming soon (December 1st) a replacement inner bezel for the iMac G3. Even when you find new old stock units they crumble to dust. The Kickstarter goal will be for only half of the tooling costs. This is a must have for any slot load iMac G3 owner! Pricing will be $95-$149 (depending on...

    Macintosh Portable is suddenly flaky / unstable, not sure what's up

    @Huxley you have no idea how bad I want to do a clear Mac Portable... These are such awesome, if temperamental, machines <3
