Did the same thing accidentally in the past on an Amiga 2000.  Blew a resistor and toasted some traces = not good. :(

I am dealing with this right now and could not get a connection between my CC Mystique and Core2duo MacBook using a x-over cable.  I can ping back and forth but could never get it to connect in chooser. Next thing I am going to try is going through a router with a non-x-over cable.

Probably in need of a cap kit and a good adjustment afterword.  Depending on it use the tube may be getting tired. -- Both not trivial projects to undertake.

I will try to locate my list of caps that I made.   I might decide to put together a kit to put on Ebay.  

I've spent a good part of the last year of weekends restoring my Color Classic Mystic.  I am calling it done for now and all is working except for the stereo mod which works but I am not yet getting full volume from the added 2nd speaker. When I acquired the machine someone had already...

Thanks for the input. I don't have facebook so for now I am kinda stuck here.  A schematic would help also so I will start to dig online but I am still really taking a stab in the dark on this thing.  I might just go with having the 2 speakers even if the volume from one is reduced - at least...

I recently added a SD2SCSI with a 32gb micro-sd to my Color Classic with LC575 mystic upgrade.   Setup 4 virtual drives.  * Drive 1 partitioned into 2ea. 4gb partitions (shows around 3.9gb each).  * Drive 2,3 partitioned as 8gb (shows around 7.9gb)  * Drive 4 portioned with what was left out...

I also found in the past using the saran wrap was a bad idea.  Total immersion delivers the best results. One more thing,  try to pop-out the apple logo as this process may damage it.  Previous experience but thankfully not to my prized CC Mystic.

UPDATE: Well, I completed the mod as described in the above link mentioned in my initial post.  It does work with the speaker connected to the new audio amp but the volume is way reduced for some reason.  I rechecked my work and everything is correct so I am thinking that maybe in these...

Thank you for taking the time to do the great write-up.  It explains things very well. I'm am thinking now that I should just replace the cap that I pulled off of the pcb with the same value even if it differs from the known list.  I am very careful when I un-solder caps one at a time and pay...

Awesome information!  

Thanks for the reply. I realize that I can up the voltage rating but I was surprised that the value of the capacitor was actually so much different.   47uf (found on my analog pcb) instead of the 100uf value that was listed on the parts list that I found here.  Seems like quite a bit of...

Has anyone ever done this mod??

I read of some replacing the smd caps with tantalums but please do your own research to confirm this.  Maybe with using radial tantalums it might be easier to find new points to solder them to that have continuity with the old spots that lifted.

I'm doing a re-cap of my Color Classic Analog PCB.  While removing the old caps one capacitor, CP34 was 47uf@25v and not 100uf@25v as listed on the master parts list found here and on other Macintosh sites. Any opinions on this?  Could anyone please take a peek at their machine and confirm what...
