Removing the analog board from a Macintosh Color Classic This is an extraordinary video with a list of caps for the analog board. Special thank to Bruce who put this together.

Even though the original video still of the Mac screen is blurry it's still clear enough to confirm that the original font must have been Athens. Venice appeared much too cursive to fit. Thanks for the side by side comparison James.

thank you to all for digging this up. Athens is a nice font and along the way I learned about the Venice font.

Here is an example Mouser Capacitor list NOTE: The mouse list is for an SE/30 Analog board - not your machine. https://eu.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=90c3e21fea To learn how to do this on Mouser please check out the video already queued up for you. 

Are you sure? I searched a little to see what I could find but all that I came up with were stories relating to the Venice font being a Bill Atkinson font that didn't make it into the first Mac. The screenshot of the video shows a very blurry image (no one's fault of course), Venice was a script...

If you are thinking about working on a compact Mac, it's always safer to work on if the CRT has been discharged. There is a very good video on just that. I should mention that Bruce has countless other videos on all things related to fixing Macs as well, he even does recapping as a service. Be...

Thanks. I will update the thread as I make progress.

I inspected the hinge very carefully when I had it removed from the computer and the shaft showed no signs of damage or bending but that was a very good consideration indeed. Do you recommend a particular brand of electric motor oil? Thank you for the reply.

After taking apart my 150, due to the display's bottom bezel detaching on the lower right, I found the hinges to be extremely stiff. I applied some grease but they remain incredibly stiff. After repairing the plastic and reassembling the machine the display bezel came apart again. I can't find...

I should have checked first. The removable battery has been reinserted. The machine no longer boots immediately after attaching the power adapter. The machine turns on only after pressing the power button.

Hello My 150 starts up the moment its original power adapter is plugged in. (NOTE: removable battery is not connected but I can test with it plugged in even though the battery is dead. The internal PRAM battery has been desoldered as it was just beginning to leak). I read in another thread on...

I think it will amuse whomever opens up the mail but Apple's mailroom will probably not know who to send it to so if you are tempted then you should address it to another active department and insert a note that you would like to receive a reply. Otherwise the mailroom may trash it as the...

I cam across this interesting article today. https://archive.org/details/eu_MacTech-2004-05_OCR/page/n65?q=power+supply+repair I hope this helps anyone out there bring their yoyo back to life!

Thank you for the reminder, you made some valid points.

I watched the video. Absolutely amazing. I would encourage you to scan those manuals and software disks and upload them to the internet archive. If you want me to clean up those watermarks you can send me a message and I will be happy to labor over that and return it to you.
