That’s a lovely display! Thanks for the games list, I missed most of those games in the day but have been looking to identify a list of fun early games to play. Have seen many of these on best of lists.  I believe Airborne did come before Enchanted Sceptres. There was a great article in an...

What airlines are YOU flying on? I can barely get my backpack under the seat in front of me. I have several compact cases (never tried to fit a CC in any of them, I use them to store Plus/SE/Classic computers) and I can't imagine fitting that case under a seat. Overhead bin might work, I don't...

0___0 I hope you figure out your 950 woes, but damn that is a nice make it up offer...

Thank you so much! I was looking for these.

Glad to hear OWC still has it! For some reason I thought they stopped carrying it. 

I hope you can get good advice - I'm not sure what to suggest. I assume you've done obvious stuff like re-seat the RAM?  I just got my SE/30 back into working order and was wondering where you got your 128 MB - I have 69 MB now but 128 MB would be satisfying. (Because I need 128 MB to play...

Very nice looking machine! I hope the seller is asking a reasonable price and that you can "rescue" it (from the hands of another collector?). :-)

Wow, never seen that before. From the looks of the screen, could it have been caused by leakage of some compound in the screen? Do passive or active matrix screens use a chemical component? That is definitely a Japanese keyboard, neat. 

What do you use to grease the hinges? WD40, or something more specialized? I have a recently acquired Wallstreet to care for. 

I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that ebay apparently represents "Best Offer" amounts accepted as the original asking price, not the price actually paid. That leads to rampant inflation! At least if it were true that someone ACTUALLY paid xyz inflated price, there would be an...

I really should have bid on that lot of random circuit boards that just ended on eBay. Maybe they’ll relist. I need SO much practice. 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I may need to save this SCSI board until my soldering skills are a lot higher level. Sigh... it was in great shape until I fumbled and dropped it on the floor.  I am am glad to know I can reinstall the RAM board without the SCSI in the meantime.  ETA: given...

Sweet! Service box and everything, I bet that is valuable in its own right. Like you said - get that Maxell bomb out of there! I believe the SE/30 will start without a battery, so you don't have to replace it with anything unless & until you want the clock to keep good time. From what I...

@Dog Cow, since no one else has weighed in on the broken pin so far, what are your ideas? I washed all the boards in my dishwasher (the Dove MacSnap parts turned an odd shade of green on the underside but appear otherwise unharmed) and have been leaving them to dry for almost a week since their...

I thought about putting this in peripherals, but it seemed better here since this type of floppy drive mechanism is exclusive to the 128 and 512K Mac. It is also found inside the guts of M1030 400K external floppy drives. As posted earlier (see links in this post), I have an early 128K Mac that...

I was just laughing the other day because I was pricing a 4 MB RAM upgrade for a Plus. $9.99 BIN on ebay. I scrimped and saved to afford the $200 it cost to upgrade my Classic to 4 MB in 1993, and that's pennies compared to some high end items.

Another ditto for Word 5.1! For a System 6 Mac with 2 MB, Word 4; for a System 7 Mac with 4 MB, Word 5.1. I did all my graduate work in those two versions of Word. Word 5.1 was a great program (by contrast, 6 was horrible bloatware). I thought about suggesting Word earlier but figured...

Oh, so that is what the sheet feeder is for! I see them on ebay fairly often and they sell for semi-high prices. I thought it had something to do with feeding a larger amount of paper at a time. I was checking Amazon and some other office supply stores and it seems you can readily get tractor...

Agreed, I thought about recommending RAM Doubler too, but it had been too long since I used it and I wasn't sure I could describe properly how it works. I'm 95% sure I used it on the Classic (as well as my later Performa). As I recall, it won't allow you to load any program whose RAM...

Have you followed all the instructions in Larry Pina's book (widely linked on these forums) for adjusting the video after making changes? That weird looking screen looks to me like what you get when you turn the cutoff up all the way. The goal is to turn the brightness up to max, turn the cutoff...
