Hey guys
Gonna be repairing my Mac Plus this weekend, just needs some solder connections reflowing (typical no video, but tapping on the side will get it running)
Been doing a bit of reading and seems it is also worth recapping the analog board (but that will have to wait, will need to order those in)
Also there seems to be some debate on weather it's worth recapping the logicboard (but i think i will, since after seeing some xbox's with leaky caps, and those are only 7 years old!)
What i was wondering is if there is anything else i should be checking (or just replacing regardless) while i'm in there? want to keep this guy running
also anyone know of a good place to pickup a 800k floppy drive? the original one just continuously clicks when power is applied (so I have removed it for the time being)
sorry if i am asking stupid questions... I have little experience with the insides of classic macs (despite having a raver large software collection) but i am confident with soldering (been doing it half my life, although that is only 8 years...) so i am confident i can replace anything that needs to be.
anyway, thanks in advance
