Good thing I have a couple pounds of solder on hand!

I switched to my thicker (~2mm diameter) solder and had to crank my iron up to about 360°C to get reasonable behaviour / speed. I usually solder at 320°C for most stuff.

I have some 2 or 3mm solder, and for throughhole I prefer it at 400’c for quick work.

I made 5 myself. I tried one out on my IIci in hopes that it was my power supply and not the motherboard that was bad, but no dice.

Ugh. That sucks!! I hope you get it sorted out.

I wanted to try out JLCPCB’s assembly service, and had a free coupon. So I bought the minimum required to get assembly and ended up with 60 units.

 

[olePigeon]

Really? My coupon had no minimum. I just ordered 5 with assembly.

I had to order 5, but they had to be panels. I could only go (seemingly) a minimum of 4x3 on a panel, multiplied by the 5 panels (to equal 60).

Weird…

Here are some motherboard recaps for posterity.

What in the world?

What in the world?

On the old forum, I ran out of space posting photos of my recapping work on my collection.

I had asked Cory to remove them so I could continue to function (I literally could not post a single photo or upload as a result). I guess in the strange events surrounding the forum crash, and this request, somehow they files link to random images in the forum database.

That's all I can guess. That's definitely not my photo, and looking through some of the others, they appear to be random. My photos start with the IBM PC-DOS one.

What, you don’t like sofas?

Yeah, some pics got mixed up or links got mangled after the forum crash. Don’t know how but I’ve seen it happen in a few threads at least.

That sofa looks like it needs a recap and a retr0brite!

LOL! Well, it's not mine... so whomever owns that sofa here on 68kmla (whoever's picture that is), they need to clean and retrobrite it.

 

[Durosity]

Maybe they could ship it to you and you could do it for them? Because you love nothing more than recapping other peoples stuff!

 

[joshc]

It also looks like a very r@re sofa. Could’ve been owned by Steve Jobs himself!!

 

[3lectr1cPPC]

Hah! Knowing how steve basically lived in an empty house for at least the early years of apple, owning such a garish couch would probably have been revolting for him.

That's why it's r@re!

 

[3lectr1cPPC]

Yeah but I’ll bet it wasn’t signed by jobs and Wozniak like that yellowed Mac plus that was definitely made while jobs was at apple was?? $2000 OBO

 

[Durosity]

2000 OBO

No low ball offers! I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!!!11

I’m wondering if we should check inside for signatures..
