Picked up a boxed 128k a week or so ago and it came with both its original board and a spare that had been upgraded to 512k. I ordered some new tools and some sockets and 4164 chips, and after a few hours and some minor troubleshooting, it works great! This is my first time replacing something...
I am beginning the process of recapping the analog board on my 128k after the RIFA exploded, and was hoping to gain some knowledge because according the list of caps on this Google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/132RwzC8HM5ask-BdY_31txErOCwJDSkz099GY2XLpE0/edit?usp=drivesdk

Hello all, I recently acquired a Classic II and am trying to get in running. Currently it displays just garbage on the screen, or vertical lines. I've put the motherboard through the dishwasher and have a new cap set on the way, even so the fluid leaks were very minimal on the board and it...
Hello again, I was cleaning out my G3 because the inside metal was covered in dust, and I am having problems with the hinge that is underneath the logic board (A big plastic sorta plate). When I went to close the case with it attached, I had to use all my force to get it back open, which caused...

I have an iMac G3 that just won't turn on no matter what, and it's been like that for close to 5 years. I recently pulled it out of my attic to see if just letting it sit for a bit would change anything, and unfortunately, nothing had changed. When you press the power button after plugging it...
I need disk images for iCab 2.99 (the one for 68k Macs) and Stuffit 5.5 on 1.44 MB floppies. I can't figure out how to get them to my LC II, and online searching brings me almost nowhere. If anyone can help with this that'd be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I've looked all over to find this issue and figured I'd try to solve it out here. I recently got this Mac and I've replaced the analog board after finding out the one it had in it was bad, and booted it up to find this. I have no mouse or keyboard, only the blinking floppy drive. In...
