Wow congrats what an awesome addition to your collection and roadshow!

Thats awesome @robin-fo congrats on a great score :)

Nice! Anyone on the train check it out?

@mac27 the light starts green, then goes amber when there is an unhappy electrical sound followed by a click. Nothing happens afterwards and the amber light remains. Thanks for your insights! And here are current views of the my office :) I do enjoy rearranging when new treasures come in.

Yes @bobcat this is such a great era of Apple's design language! The B&W G3 is one of my favorite machines, glad you kept yours. Seems there is a modern flyback replacement part, here's a video shared by @mac27 ;)

I have since tested it. The unit gets power but the CRT does nothing. If that's what would happen with a bad flyback xformer then I suppose so. What's the prognosis, Dr. @3lectr1cPPC ? And is there hope to bring back to life?

Seller said won't turn on but for $10 how could I possibly resist? Otherwise it's in very good shape and I think worth getting repaired. Now I obviously need the much coveted B&W G3 even more ;)

Congratulations looking great!

Amazing great rescue!

Nice, assuming Media Composer? Those don't look like the Avid keyboards though.

Sorry missed you didn't like Netscape

Completely sidestepping any processor controversies this machine has a decent spec for its day including USB and firewire. The owner must have done something gx or video related because there was also a monitor calibration suction cup jawn in the box o stuff that came with the computer.

Thats a great collection stand-out congrats!
