Actually, as recently as about a year ago, it booted up just fine. I don't know if that means anything?

Tank you, mate!

Hi--I'm so impressed with this forum--so many cool people willing to help. So, actually, I'm in Orange County at least once a month--and driving it to Huntington Beach versus shipping it to Atlanta might make more sense. I just explained to smrieck511, I'm about to go back out on the road for a...

Wow, that's generous of you. I'm back out on the road in a couple of days. I will be gone for about 2 weeks--so can I get in touch with you when I get back? I assume another couple of weeks just sitting in my home office, unplugged, won't hurt anything? Thanks for the responsiveness--I'll be in...

This is great, detailed information, thank you! I'm sure it's easy if you know what you're doing, but it's above my pay grade. I'm gonna need someone here in Southern California to do this for me.

Cheers--I need to find someone near San Diego who can fix it for me.

Well, all that is beyond my pay grade:) How would I find someone in San Diego who can do that for me? And do you have any idea what it might cost? I *am* rather attached to this box--I definitely want to keep it--if only as a virtual aquarium with the odd, random toaster "flying" through...

It does this--and makes the same loutish hissing noise it has *always* made:)

Seems like the four screws will be easy to find--thanks for spec'ing the screwdriver. At the risk of asking a dumb question, does the high voltage matter if it's unplugged? If the problem is the powerboard capacitors--as you suspect--how would I know? What would I be looking for?

Hi--It's definitely a Classic--and it is entirely possible I bought it in 1990. I still have the original purchase paperwork--I just don't know which Banker's Box it's in:) The photo is a bit distorted--but this is it.

Hi--I'm not ignoring you. I'm on the road, but when I get home on Friday, I will switch I on and describe exactly wha it does. If I can capture decent photos, I will. Thank you and please stay tuned...

Hi! I have a Mac Classic that, until recently, booted up just fine--but now will not. I fear the battery might have blown up. I live near San Diego--is here anybody local who could take a look, please? Thanks!
