Color Classic on the left has a purplish hue (CC on the right shown for reference purposes). Also, not sure if related, but the Brightness slider in the Screen control panel appears to have no effect on the display.
Anyone fixed this before? Is it a cap issue or something else?
Thanks in...
Shouldn't the Color Classic be on this list?
That is, perhaps, my favorite of the Compact Macs. I have a recapped Color Classic with the Apple IIe emulation board. "Working" on a Mystic and a Takky to complete the set.

I realize that a mid-2009 MacBook Pro is a little outside the usual forums here but I thought that others may have encountered a situation similar to mine. I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro that I use for light work, although I use it intermittently. I typically leave it running. Last week, I...
Thanks for these thoughts! The externally-facing machine doesn't need to directly support SCSI -- it's enough for that machine to behave well on the Internet and then pass the files off to an older machine. Beige PPC Mac seems to be the machine of choice for the "middle machine!"
Curious to hear the community's thoughts/recommendations. I would like to build an environment that has, at one end, a machine capable of operating on the modern Internet for downloading apps, etc. from, e.g., Macintosh Garden. The other end would be any number of vintage Macs on which the...
My iSub has begun emitting a whine. Confirmed it was the iSub by unplugging it. tested to see if it was hardware related by muting from the control panel. That also caused the the whine to stop.
Anyone else ever encountered this problem?

@beachycove has the right approach to this! I struggled with the "official" process. CCC 3.4.7 (the version Macintosh Garden links to for use in the process) wouldn't mount the disk image downloaded from MG's site. I checked the DMG with Disk Utility and it was not corrupt.
In my case I did...
I have a number of old SCSI drives that I would like to try to revive, if only to capture the apps before trashing the drives for good. Anyone have recommendations for good tools to use? Thanks!
Curious to know what the group thinks is the value of an original Apple SCSI HD enclosure, without a disk. To be clear, I don’t have one that I want to sell, I’m simply curious to know what the “market price” should be.
Thanks!

Thanks, @Cory5412! Yes, these do work fine vertically (including the optical drives) -- I have been using a PPC and two Core Duo Minis vertically for a couple of years. While they seem quite stable, there's always a little bit of a nagging feeling that one may just tip over (it's irrational)...
Looking for thoughts on whether it is worth rebuilding the battery for an white iBook versus simply buying a replacement battery. I've looked at several resources that show that the battery comprises six foil-encased square batteries, but nowhere have I found specifications for those cells, so...
Group:
I'm aware of some very slick plastic stands for the new Mac Minis that allow them to be deployed vertically, but I can't find any for the old Mac Minis, which are thicker. Anyone out there ever put something like that together? I have a small farm of PPC and Core Duo Minis that I would...
