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.

Yeah, had this sticker on the back of a 030 upgraded Mac Plus.

Love this. Mine has just been sitting on there wit ha bit of double sided tape. However, I struggled to get a good fit. I think two reasons. One, the adapters weren't sitting perfectly straight because I printed supports (my printer cannot print bridges terribly well) and I think the left...

I believe you can use the keyed cables used for the external boards as a reference.

Looks like they scratched the board around L11. May want to confirm the traces there weren't damaged. Or see if they can replace it.

I had similar issues and I think you are looking in the right spot. Here's the notes from my SE/30 that was lacking audio and would hang when trying to play sounds: "Reading a 68kmla forum post about sound issues resulting from connections to/from the UE10 chip, I tested them out. Sure enough...

I did. I ended up using a slightly different keyboard, a Novice 68. It had two advantages. It had a lighter gray translucent case and it had little feet to increase the angle of the keyboard. Unfortunately, it was a lot more work to get everything to fit and to get it secured somewhat...
