Who's done the SE/30 capacitor replacement?

Sorry if it sounds like an ad, Osgeld. Just pointing out that I can do it.

Paralel, the same rates apply no matter what it is. I think a flat rate of $10/hr labor is reasonable. I'm just trying to put my talents to good use and help promote what we are doing here on this site.

We are of the same mind set that we refuse to overload the landfills with perfectly good retro macs and provide the best support possible to those who still own and/or operate these machines. You don't see Apple doing the same after a few years, do you? Heck, they discontinue more models and stop supporting them after 7 years, when the Macs still have a lot of life ahead of them.

73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Awesome. Now I just need to crack that sucker open again and count caps to make sure I get the right number and type. I might post some pics here so someone can double check me, I'm apt to miss one or two if history is any indication.

[New board participant introducing self] Hi folks!

I don't mind at all if phreakout's post sounds like an ad -- I need the service he provides and will be sending one or more SE/30 board to him for some work. Will keep everyone posted on the first-computer-I-owned resurrection process!

SE/30 as first computer owned.... Did you buy it new?

 

[legalisi]

Yes -- it's one of the rare beasts that started its life as an SE (bought new in 1988) and I purchased the upgrade after a couple years. I used it heavily for years -- upgrading the RAM, adding an Micron color board to drive an attached Apple 16" color monitor, even using Apple's first external SCSI CD-ROM drive with it. I finally replaced it with a PowerMac 7500 and multiple machines thereafter.

However, like a guy's first girlfriend, my first Mac holds a special place.
