    If you look at the different backgounds in the control panel there is one that is all squares if you set it you can easily adjust the screen until all the squares look correct and the screen size is as mentioned above

    Well done. Having a lot of possible items to purchase is definately a luxury that we don't have in Tasmania. The external drive is cool

    Salvaging a bombed SE/30

    Looking at your board I think it suits a reloaded. You have the possibility of spending a lot of time testing and track repairing compared to a parts swap. Mind you you may be lucky and its easy to fix but!

    Macintosh SE M5010 - Restoration

    I'd source another keyboard rather than trying to fix yours. Not hard to find on fleabay. I'd then concentrate on making sure everything is working correctly by using System 7.01. When you have proved your SE is OK then have a play with higher systems. System 6.0.8 was written in assembly...

    Macintosh SE M5010 - Restoration

    Going very well. Maybe try reseating the ROM and RAM chips on the board. Can you type when booted into 6.08 or 7. Create and new folder and try to rename it. Forgot its an SE not SE/30 you only have 4mb of memory to play with, look at memory being used in Basilisk!

    Macintosh SE M5010 - Restoration

    Try system 7.01 or 6.08 first. https://infinitemac.org/ really easy to make your images. Don't need battery. Should be able to score a new apple logo easily, they just push out of the case via the little hole

    Macintosh SE M5010 - Restoration

    Check Ebay for the gears. The person who made them first? sells 4 for $4 much more sensible price. Just received mine took about 4 weeks to come to Tasmania from the US. This is it https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235320197466

    Plus CRT?

    Yes checked all soldering. Have moved on a bit I cleaned all the CRT contacts and have managed to get a single bright horizontal line now. Yoke connector is OK looking at the Q2 Q4 and Q5 area.

    Plus CRT?

    Have a 512k/plus AB. It's been recapped and cr20 replaced and no longer fup fup fup. Plus DB chimes but screen is dead. Screen does work on another supply and the HT is alive (spark test). I've reflowed the connectors and have tested 11.5v on the CRT electron gun but it does not show any...

    New LC475

    Great Computer the LC475 I use mine regularly. Tants work fine and a v1 bluescsi works great unless you want the wireless networking option instead of ethernet. Enjoy
