Thank you so much @KURB ! That is very helpful! I have to admit that Imperial measures are Chinese to me, but I will try to understand the marks on the ruler and find some tools to convert them to mm.

Thank you so much @KURB ! There is no rush, I still have so much to do on this monitor! You can take all the time you need. I will share the 3D model if I am happy with the result so you could take that opportunity to recreate yours as well.

Interesting! I will then investigate my screen for sure!

Thanks for the feedback @croissantking. I read the article and unfortunately, the CRT Database page lists this monitor's glare film as non removable: https://crtdatabase.com/crts/apple/apple-multiple-scan-20-m1283 I had some hope but I guess I am out of luck here. It seems I am back at the...

I will need to re-open the monitor because the picture decided to flicker like crazy. I believe that it needs a full recapping. If the problem is just the anti-glare film, that would be awesome! I will try to remove it anyway. Thanks for the link @KURB, that is very useful! Do you still have...

@iantm I am not sure that a Cintiq Companion will work on an old Mac. I may be wrong though as I have never tried it. I believe it requires a serial connection. Any Cintiq with a serial connection should work with a vintage Mac when attached to the serial port (with an adapter). It requires the...

Thanks @Froggy814 ! It is not perfect but I was very lucky to find a color that is very close to the original color as well! I have painted the keyboard and I will need to take care of the tower next. When I look at it, it makes me feel like when I first bought the computer.

Yes, I have seen a few videos on the topic. The result is great but it goes through heating the glass with the risk of an implosion of the tube. If I ever find someone confident in doing it, I may go for it. For now, I don't feel like taking the risk.

Last weekend, I worked on the electronics. I haven't recapped it yet, that is quite a big task! I wanted to test the display first. Therefore, I removed the dust out of the boards (it was very dirty!) and I reassembled everything to see how the picture behaved. Here is the monitor back next...

I have tried MacSurf and it is very promising! Well done @ptricky that is an amazing effort! I have just loaded a few websites and I was impress by the current status of the CSS and images handling. That's pretty nice! I am using a 9500 with a G3 500MHz and TLS loading time is pretty decent...

Last weekend, I painted the back cover so it now all looks uniform. Now is the time to figure how to rebuild the stand, which is long gone. I will have to re-create it from scratch. The idea is to 3D print it and I have started working on a 3D model.

My 9500's PCI plastics are long gone and while the cards are still usable without them, I also like the idea of fixing that. I have started messing with some quite advanced plastic repairing and want to move to rebuilding/improving my 9500 box next. I will want to rethink the PCI cards...

Thanks for the advise @jmacz , it makes perfect sense! I will note for next time!

Back in 1999, I bought a second hand Power Mac 9500 from a graphics designer, in order to start learning graphics design myself. This computer came with 2 graphics cards and 2 displays; an Apple Multiple Scan 14" with integrated speakers and a beautiful Apple Multiple Scan 20". I loved this...

I have been using and loving my 9500 for the last 27 years (mainly for graphics design). I am so used to it, I cannot be objective anyway! 😅
