Thanks! I'm always straight onto the batteries, but thanks for the tip!  Just picked up a tidy little stash last night, and all of them still had batteries installed.  Item number 1: remove all batteries!  Just the Classic II with Simasimac to open and check, 50/50 it's caps or leaked Maxell...

I've been away from the hobby for a couple of years (having a baby, building a house, typical adult stuff), and have lost touch with what is happening with recapping and options. I am wondering what options are available for recapping that will be permanent (ie, never need to replace them...

Best bet would be used ones from eBay, no doubts then!

Would be interested also!

I recall Maelstrom coming to me via a freeware CD, and the author was asking for donations.  What a great game!

Yep, I had a 5500 Director's Edition, but decided to move it on because I don't have the space, plus the plastics are terrible.  Oh, and I prefer the Mac TV anyway, so I kept the TV and sold the DE! Whittling down the collection now to the really good stuff, finally pairing each machine with a...

I have been putting this off, but I'm going to give it a go real soon. Time to deyellow my brown macs!

Bought mine from someone who had imported one from the US. So that's at least two in Australia!

Hearing buzzing matching system functions is the TAM buzz. Means your audio isn't toast, but something is stopping it from producing sound.

Got all sorts - 128/512, Plus, Extended, TAM, Mac TV, black Extended, Adjustable, and so on.

There were two 512K EDs for 220V countries that had no silk screening, one in beige and one in platinum.

Yep, I bought one that was defective, then got a partial refund and bought another, also defective. I was using the software disks that cans with the first one, but after downloading another version, both now work!

I miss the vampire for the Levco SE accelerator install

Yep, disks come in that tray with a Picasso lid. Love the packaging of the 128k!

Well at least show it booting and doing its thing, and put it on Youtube.  It's like having a vintage Ferrari that you don't even look at, let alone anyone else.  I get not sharing the file, but at least share the routine with a modern HD recording.

Tried a dry cleaner, they weren't interested as it was too hard. I wet mine on the outside, used some dishwashing detergent, and scrubbed with a soft bristled brush.  Works a treat! If it is manky on the inside, you don't have much to lose in the washing machine.

Looks like my collection of boxed System software - except I liquidated my OS X stuff because I just don't see the point.

So I thought I'd see what I could dig up on the ol Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/19980428071133/http://twentiethanniversary.apple.com/usa-s.html http://web.archive.org/web/19980423102039/http://www.bose.com/new/new_apple.shtml Funny to see how far web development has come, and...

I sold my Color Classics, and am left with the Performa 250. Great little machine, especially with a IIe card.

Just had a read of my conquest page for the TAM: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/13420-twentieth-anniversary-macintosh-hail-to-the-king-baby/ Wow, can't believe how much of an old man I was with Macs back then.  Max RAM and Ethernet, that's all I wanted.  Fast forward 12 months, and...
