Dirty Macs - post your pics of the filthy ones

[s_pupp]

I was disturbed by the dust on the fan of my second IIfx. It seems from this thread that I was spoiled by the relatively immaculate condition of my other Macs. My first IIfx, purchased in 2005, had no dust anywhere, not even on the fan blades or inside the psu. Not bad for $5.

Bought a very nice looking (on the outside) IIci to add to the collection. Unfortunately someone else had taken up residence inside beforehand.

Even after removing all the stuffing and cleaning out the rodent 'stuff'/dousing with IPA, I found it to be battery bombed and the board unsalvageable. The power supply is recapped though and waiting for a new donor board to make it whole again. Who knows... perhaps someone smarter than I will reverse engineer the IIci board in opensource and I can begin the tedious process of migrating components.

Looks like this has happened:

Macintosh IIci Logicboard recreation

Something I have been working on recently: It's a near 1:1 reproduction with some minor rerouting where this made sense. Boards are on order, should be here in a couple of weeks Not much more to say (other than thanks to @Kai Robinson for providing the donor board I used) you have all seen...

Pics of my Quadra 840AV PSU before cleanup and recapping. Unfortunately, it's still dead.
