    Bondi Blue CD hints?

    Hi! I picked up an imac Bondi Blue this past week, and managed to get everything restored and working (dead hard drive replaced with n SSD, OS loaded), with the exception of the CD-ROM drive. It's D-E-D dead. The drive doesn't spin up, or eject when the button is pushed. Does anyone have any...

    bloody Classic II, bloody analog board, again! Horizontal size broken.

    So the analog board I finally got working a couple weeks ago? Is broken again. I powered up the Classic II this morning, and the image on screen was oversized on the horizontal axis. I tried the horizontal size pot on the back and nothing happened. I expected the size to shrink/expand on the...

    Classic II analog board voltage problem

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with a Classic AB voltage issue I'm having. I got a dead (not even the fan spun up) machine cheap figuring a recap and a cleaning would bring it back to life as it has on other machines I've worked on. I replaced the capacitors on both the AB and LB, as...

    Cleaning up the basement and rediscovered the triplets.

    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.

    Do the LC 520 and Color Classic share the same AB?

    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...

    Change display language ?

    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...

    Are there any Color Classic II schematics out there?

    I know it's a long shot but my Google-fu is weak and not turning up anything. Does anyone out there have CC II schematics? I just got a battery bombed LB and they would help me repairing it. Thanks, C

    OK . . . I have a working Color Classic again . . .

    Many thanks to all of you who knowingly (and unknowing) helped me with chips, knowledge and encouragement. I have a working CC again, but by way of a very weird path. I recently bought a second unit that was described as junk, and for parts only in the hopes of getting enough bits to make my...

    Color classic stopped working :(

    Help! I've been working on getting a color classic running for a bit. Thanks to @jajan547 I got a set of working ROMs that got the board up and running long enough to install a hard drive and System 7.5. The whole thing started and shutdown when told to several times, and the only thing not...
