@jmacz , doing the same for Trinitron tubes LCD replacement is much, much easier! And the effect is fantastic, until the mac is turned on it looks 100% original. did this on a Color Classic, however it can be done with any Trinitron based Mac or monitor….
A Flyback transformer can be part of a tuned circuit, so even extremely similar models cannot be exchanged (see the FBT of the 575 and the one of the CC analog boards - they differ by one last digit!) and there are as many types and kinds as there are transistors. Doubtful that a “generic“...
That is SO far out of my capacity it’s not funny unfortunately…. I’d love to be able to do something like that. However it does not sound cheap either.
Yeep, that is it - plus, you’d be tied to a specific panel, and if the source for that panel dries up,
youre back to square one. That is why I decided to simply offer a dsub video out connector on the ab
That is not something you can do at analog board level, as the driver board is still separate - what I am doing is simply routing the video signal to a VGA connector that feeds a lcd monitor. I’m cheap: I have a source of 8.2” 800x600 lcd monitors that integrate the driver board and panel for...
@Phipli , I believe that there was an attempt to make a minimum order from one of the last couple or three chinese transformer factories that still make FBTs for the SE 30 part, the minimum order then was around 100 pieces at 120 $ each, factoring in shipping, import taxes etc; at 1000 pieces...
In my case, I am trying to build a replacement AB to supply the power and function as an interface between the LB and an LCD for the Color Classic. I have a fully functional front panel that would work with a Mystic lb and another that is already perfectly working in a sort-of Takky build. For...
