Greetings all,
Having read about PRAM battery and capacitor leakage issues, I have just plucked up the courage to get my Mac II, IIx and IIfx machines down and check their motherboards.
To my great surprise (unlike my usual bad luck), the three machines' internals look great. I didn't have a multimeter to check the batteries before I had to return them.
So - to my poll question. Where the PRAM batteries are soldered the question is:
To clip them off or not to clip them off?
I clipped the AA batteries off all my Lisa machines when I first got them a few years back and have no problem doing this if it means preserving the machines.
However, I welcome advice about the best method of preservation.
Thanks all too,
Macdownunder
