If the design gets to a point where it's fairly locked-down, I'd be happy to design a 3D-printed enclosure for it. I'll post the files when I'm done. I would just need a PCB and parts list. Here's my resume!

Wow, this is the only post I've ever seen on these forums of a machine being used in production. That is just awesome.

Challenge accepted. Of course, I’d have to borrow one to 3D model.

Yeah... and leaky capacitors certainly will cause problems. All machines of this age are due for new capacitors.

Hey @Unknown_K and @Juror22, unfortunately the entire machine has been claimed. Sorry about that!

Me either, ha! Yeah, I would have too if I had a hot air station! Thanks! This project almost convinced me to look into a hot air station... but I decided that I could get it done with just an iron. Or could I? Read on... First, I decided to clean up the "junk" board for some practice. It...

Great news! Despite his screen name, @EvilCapitalist has sent me a parts SE/30 board to scavenge an ASC from. Thank you very much, @EvilCapitalist! Let's have a look at the damage. Yep, Maxell bomb. How about the ASC? That's what we're after here. A bit of corrosion was present, but it...

Congrats on the Color Classic! I think this is a moot point since you have a hot air station... but I now exclusively use the "twist and push" method to remove caps. On the ~6 boards I've done like this, I've only broken one pad off. But like I said, moot point for you... Looking forward to...

While @switch998 said, "Don't worry about cleaning it", I couldn't help myself. This is the 6115CD after dishwasher detergent, scrubbing with a brush, a lot of Goo Gone, and some paper towel + baking soda scrubbing. The only thing I didn't do was bust out the flat razor to try to scrape away all...

Yeah, I've considered this! I do have some RAM slot clips as well. I'll post them soon (another thread). Acknowledged! I'll get a set shipped out for you shortly.

Fantastic! Thank you!

Yes, absolutely. Yours for the cost of shipping. I'll scrub the top case down and take some good photos, so we can evaluate whether it is worth it to you or not. I'd be happy to ship the whole machine, or just the parts you need out of it.

Congrats on getting an SE/30! Seeing alkaline batteries in there makes me cringe, a bit. I've seen far too many Alkaline batteries leak inside Game Boy consoles to trust them. If it were me, I think I'd remove those, get a proper 1/2 AA PRAM battery holder, and solder it in. Whether you...

Wow, that easy?! I'll check it out after work! Thanks!

I don't like seeing Balloon help in System 7. Is there a way to hide or remove it?

The search is on. --- A few more developments! My wife bought me a Mac ROM-inator II! I wasn't happy with the paperclip or rubber band solutions, so after a handful of little prototypes, I came up with this! I also went ahead and boosted it to 128mb of RAM. Yes... it's silly. But it's...

I've created some 3D printed "ROM Clips" that hold a Mac ROM-inator II in place on the SE/30. More info (and discussion) here:

I wasn't a big fan of the "rubber band" or "paperclip" brace solutions for the Mac ROM-inator II, so I decided to make some 3D printed clips for it. They press down over the top of the ROM-inator II and ROM SIMM slot, firmly bracing the ROM in an upright position. They use a simple friction fit...

If you get completely stuck, I have designed some 3D printed braces that hold the RAM SIMMs. They simply press into place, firmly holding the SIMM upright. I've been using them on my SE/30 with total success. I could easily send you a couple. I've been meaning to post the files but haven't got...

I've checked all of the lines from the ASC chip back to various places like the GLUE, FPU, and PDS. No problems found. I guess I'd better start hunting for a donor board? Thanks! Yes, I plan to make the STL's available.
