So I have a potentially daft question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. I've been slowly transfering parts from a dead SE/30 to a Reloaded board and managed to score a second battery bombed SE/30 board with the thought that it would be good in case I baff'd any parts in the transfer. The new...

Nice haul! On the question of capacitor kits, I've been using recapamac.com.au as a reference, and ordering them off digikey.

Congratulations! A little terrifying the first time, isn't it?

Just a reflection.

So I cleaned up some boxes in the basement, an look what I found. Stil MIA is the keyboard, and the power adapters, but otherwise complete. Anyone have a solution for the sticky feeling that's built up over the years? I'm guessing it's from the degradation of the rubber coating.

For irons I use a Pinecil, and/or a Rhagon RJ2090 that work great for any assembly jobs I've done. For taking things apart I use a S993a desolder gun to remove thru hole devices, and a 858d hot air station for removing SMD stuff.

You're right of course, but I could find a 520, and overclocking the 520 board should give the same performance as the 550 (?).

Awesome! Thanks for pointing me in that direction. C

OK, recap is done (except for the rifa cap; forgot to order one). Surprisingly there was no leakage to clean up. The supply part that feeds the LB is the same as the CC (which makes sense), but I'm not sure about the CRT supply. Do larger CRTs need more voltage/current than their smaller...

Short story: I need to recap a LC 520 analog board, and it looks like a CC AB. Do they share the same AB, so I can use the CC cap list to order from? Long story: I bought an LC520 out of Japan listed as "junk' with the hopes of using the LB to upgrade one of my CC machines to a CCII. I took...

Here you go: I haven't got my AB to work yet in stereo, but to be honest I haven't spent a lot of time troubleshooting it.

I agree, but then I like to solder.

Do any of the AB not cause misery? The ones in my color classics were a huge pain to make work. My SE machine got all new caps and refused to work, until I left it for a few days; then it worked (many bad words were used).

This would be my guess too. The question now is live with it, or reflow all the solder points in the hope it fixes the issue?

Thanks!

OK, stupid newbie user question. I just got my second CC (mostly) working, but the display comes up in Japanese (which is where it came from; I don't speak or read the language) and in my defense I've always had to reload the OS and have chosen English on my Macs. Is there an easy way to...

Nah I'm not on Youtube - I 've got a face for radio, and a voice for print LoL! I'm just finishing up my first SE/30 reloaded board (waiting on a new CPU, praying the RTC works), but I've resurrected an SE and a Color Classic. My first thought was VRAM as Bolle suggested as it seems to repeat...

Wow - two reloaded boards done! I'm torn between being super impressed and jealous that you had two donor boards to work from. :)

Burning your own is probably the cheapest way of getting the machine running, if you have access to the equipment.

Stuff being out of stock is pretty much par for the course with the chip shortage. I guess you could grab the gerber files and the rest from Big Mess O wires and build one from scratch.
