    Recapped LC II

    I've had an LC II board setting around for quite some time with a few pads pulled on it. It was really nasty but I some how managed to get it to start up after a really ugly recap. Had to bridge C21 across, turn C15 and C22 a little sideways.... I know the image is a bit blurry, but you get...

    PowerBook 160 Contrast Issue

    So I took a long break from my collection and never got around to fixing this issue. I have a PowerBook 160 that doesn't seem to keep its contrast steady. Messing around with the slider will fix it, but it constantly gets brighter, then dim.

    I got this Color Classic about a year or so ago. It would start up fine but it had this weird issue with the screen being one color until it warmed up a little. I decided to pull it out today and fire it up to see what would happen. I recapped the motherboard last year also. Here is what I...

    Finally Back With Some News! 475

    So I am finally back to working on my 475, the one I posted about back in December. Still the same death chime issue. I decided to hunt down the data sheet for the on board ram, which is Samsung brand. It was actually easy to find. Maybe I can hunt down this issue soon.

    The Greatest Conquest Ever... Not

    Well I stopped by Goodwill today and picked up a nice rolling office chair for 8 bucks. But I spotted one vintage apple product... A lonely cable all by itself. Not sure what it was used for, clearly not adb but probably for printer or modem. All I know is the connectors have a wonderful Apple...

    Macintosh IIci. Using VGA adapter.

    OK so my VGA adapter arrived today. The generic one with the switches. Well I have a Acer wide screen LCD that I want to use with the Macintosh IIci. I would like to know what to switch on and off on the adapter. I set it for VGA with 640x480 and got no signal.

    Plus with Horizontal Sweep Lines?

    Well I decided to fire up my Plus today to test a hard drive that I had. This plus was working about a week ago and from what I remember I thought the CRT was under adjusted to where there was a pretty good size black border (i think). When I turned it on the screen was very bright and had some...

    My first Macintosh

    Just about a month ago I purchased a Macintosh SE on eBay for 60 bucks shipped, mouse and keyboard included. Its in great condition besides a small crack in the top right corner of the case (which must have happened in shipping as it wasn't in the pictures on eBay). I powered it on as the seller...
