Were the late analog boards in the Mac Classic noticeably different to the early models? Are late style yokes compatible with the early boards (with adapting)? I ended up with the wrong type CRT and would love it if somebody could help me out figuring this out.

Did confirm my suspicions, but I'm still not aware of any option to adapt the connector.

I bought a Macintosh Classic CRT, and the yoke is the wrong type (early yoke, late board). Is the pinout the same and is it possible to just adapt the pins somehow? Not sure if this is possible. Thanks, 68kPlus

If it is the screen, you'll need to recap your analog board. I'm doing that with mine sometime in the future, just for longevity's sake.

Has anyone tested 600MHz and 400MHz G3 iMacs? I can if not

This thread makes me nervous about my Mac Classic repair - the analog board has leaky caps, with cap goo on a bunch of stuff. Eek

Totally. I have one DB25 BlueSCSI in a SCSI chain with a Zip 100 drive, so I know your pain. I hope to get one for my SE someday, and the Classic providing I can get it running.

$66AUD total, not including GST. I might as well print and build my own, which might be a good idea. You should sell a DIY kit (print files, instructions) too!

Rip no AU shipping. It would be a little expensive total then, however

I'm about to do the same, recapping all 4 of my compact Macs. Thought I might as well do it just for longevity's sake.

@CYB3RBYTE You might have luck with schematics, but I'm not sure how many are around for slot-loading iMacs

Amazing! Will get one too!! I have two Macs which need one, Plus and 512K.

Interesting. Maybe a heat related thing that creates a gap in the flyback?

I hear it! Then again I'm younger than most on here. I think that's just the CRT/flyback transformer whine. Nothing to worry about. Does your CRT have a lot of hours?

Haha nice! I saw that one on Facebook :D

Oh 😅 Guess Google isn't always right

If you don't have flux handy, Vaseline works well too, found this out as I didn't have any for my iMac flyback repair job

Raster too bright, need to turn down the variable resistor. Let me know how it goes!

That is strange. I'd say sleep on it and wait until the more knowledgeable members can give you a hand.

Don't worry about that, if it works it works. You'll know if it breaks. Just be gentle with it and you'll be fine. I'm not too sure what could be the cause exactly. Can you send pics of the yoke cable connecter (solder pins and the connector itself)? Also try reflowing the motherboard power...
