Not sure I would trust random filament to not be conductive with very high voltages...

Yeah, I swapped a screen from an IBM 5155 into my SE/30 specifically for the amber.

Oh, I didn't see that. Was that in another thread? Last update on this one was that no plans for now because of tariffs. If there's sufficient interest and people are willing to pay increased costs of tariffs, maybe @hyperneogeo would do another batch. His choice, of course. And maybe he...

Ha, very similar story for me - "become and architect" they said, "you'll get to drive the technical direction of the org", they said! :) But I also enjoy the fixing, but I got so many devices it became overwhelming to keep track of what I had done. I also wanted a system my family could...

Just noticed your QR code on the machine. Looks like you had a similar Idea to mine for an inventory management system with asset tags in the form of QR codes that take you to the machine info. I also created a mobile app that does it with fewer steps that I use for most of my collection...

It would just be my cost. I actually have an assembled external one with cable and 3d printed case for ~$24, a bit extra for the cable and connectors. I'd need to pick up another ESP board to put together an internal one, but it would be $20. Let me know if you're interested. Unless...

Awesome that your Widget still works, but it is likely on borrowed time. I've been really happy with the ESProfile as a simple, cheap, and effective replacement. I have a couple of internal and a couple of externals left over if you need one (the downsides of not owning 10 Lisas is you don't...

Also, in case anyone else has a small pin stuck down in a 68040 socket like I did, I was able to get it out by using a scalpel to widen the opening in the plastic to enlarge the hole. With the, I was able to take one end of a straight tweezers and push it down to the side of the pin and then...

Interesting. Good to know. Thanks for the information.

I have been chipping away at assessing and fixing up a bunch of computers and I finally made my way to a stack of Centris and Quadra 610s. I've been working through them, but one of the boards looked different and had different markings and I was wondering if they had any special meaning. The...

I'm looking for some for my IIfx as well. Sign me up for the next batch.

Seems like either the wicker chair also lightened or the white balance is off between the two. Definitely better, but maybe not quite as dramatically as the photos portray. Also, I've started putting a UV treatment on my machines after retrobrighting, I also capture the date of the...

Ha. I didn’t notice that. And I just realized my recreation label uses the forward slash. (Had to replace it after retrobrighting). Good catch. I may have to replace the label now.
