No problem, it's always nice to see other people collecting these. :)
I'll try to update this post this week. Also made a quite strange find last Saturday.
Needless to say that I'd strongly recommend to check the (first) 2.7 for leaks.
I don't know if this should be considered just as the recapping of older Macs; it's possible that all the LCS (at least the dual core models) start to leak at some point, so it would maybe be a good idea to overhaul...
Hi and congratulations for your haul!
The dual 2.7 should be an early 2005. You should have a look at this: http://www.cwu.edu/~pruittj/powermac_g5.pdf
There are also pdf manuals for the other G5 generations on the net. I've not looked yet, maybe this model has diagnostic LEDs on the...
Hi!
The "battery pack" I had to make with 3 1.5V batteries apparently started to leak (at least it is completely corroded at the connections)! No idea why! Good thing I put it in a small plastic bag, no damage.
I just made another one. The total voltage should be 4.5 of course, but I get 4.8V...
I know the struggle. :D I once started making printed spec lists for every of them... Now I take pics (System and sticker on the case) and put them in folders, one folder for each Mac.
Not hard. :) Here are the colours. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G3#/media/File%3AIMac_G3_flavors.jpg
The first ones, Rev. A and B (233) are only Bondi! No others! Bondi is darker than the later Blueberry!
Then came Rev. C 266 and D 333 in the 5 colours. Bondi had disappeared.
These...
They have the usual 3.6v batteries. I personnally never saw a leaked one. Maybe because they're not that old yet? I changed the PRAM battery 3 times in TL. Needs more disassembly (the board/drives carrier needs to be removed) but I prefer it. And over 10 times in SL. The first time I did it, I...
So for Christmas 2009 or 2010, my father got us 3 more iMacs. Probably he was soon hoping that I'd once get bored of them and get rid of them.... never. :)
"Us" means my sister and me, but I consider all these 3 as mine as she couldn't really care less about old Macs, and we never decided...
Thanks guys :)
Tanaquil, did you get Tray or Slot Loaders at this school?

I'd like a Bondi even if I...
So now I must be careful with keeping the right order...
One day in my village, in the e-waste container, I saw something familiar: An iMac G3 Slot Loading. It turned out to be a Graphite 500. For a long time, this and the previous "Nr.28" were my only identical Macs. Its case was heavily...
