    Mac Classic: Swap analog board with Classic II

    'Evening all, On the right, I have an analog board from a carefully restored Classic in excellent condition. All of the capacitors were leaking. It has been fully recapped but doesn't work, and has been a bit of work to troubleshoot for a beginner. On the right, an analog board from a booting...
