I was going through some saved sellers on eBay and saw this https://www.ebay.com/itm/275639666753 I know that is not what you were talking about (after I came back here and checked), but I never see BttF items on my searches and it was just kind of fun to see these old kits.

As a suggestion - separate the moldy item(s) from the non moldy ones immediately. Put them into a plastic bag and seal it, since you do not want mold in your own living space. I've seen discussions on how to deal with mold and such on floppies, but it usually involves intense restoration.

Don't you enjoy getting something in this condition? And I can't get over the Japanese character keyboard - very nice setup! Congratulations!

Agreed. And it did come with a fair amount of extras: - fully working SE/30, already recapped - 128 MB memory - Rominator - BlueSCSI (pre-loaded with a bunch of games, so you don't have to) - Micron Xceed card (with working, non-original, grayscale adapter) Basically, you plug it in and...

Don't lose hope, both of the Micron cards that I got were acquired through detective work and at the time, I paid a little over $200 for the SE/30 that the one came in (on eBay) and the other was found for $40 on CL. Both were identified, after a LOT of patience, (I looked at a lot of...

I'm pretty sure that the SCSI2SD boards all show as Out of Stock on their site if you click through to the underlying page, so they are pretty much a non-issue as parts shortages and new developments have changed the SCSI emulator landscape (for the better, IMO). I have largely focused on using...

Its a compact (with a handle built into the top) take it (along with a mouse and a power cord) to someone else's house with good power and try it there?

I finally started including notes on mine as well...that is an excellent habit to get into. I always struggle with how much information to include, now that I have some with floppy gears replaced, and did I service the floppy, and when? Does it have an original HD or did I put in an SD solution...

Well, I hope that your issue is confined to just caps still. Here is the list, I hope it helps: There is a service source for the Bondi, but the troubleshooting area doesn't seem good. There is another one for the later ones (2001) as well, which has a better troubleshooting guide and while...

I had an issue with my MBP the other night - I was putting together a list for you and did not pay attention to the battery level. I managed to run it out and it just died while I was working on it (I have about 40 other windows and other apps open, but it should handle that, right?) anyway...

On mine (board is the same part number) the original C930 cap in the picture (the one circled) is a 33uf 160v cap. You were correct about this value, but you already knew that.

That is an amazingly, terrific conquest (and that is an excellent price!) and it almost looks like you popped back into time to pick it up. Your patience definitely paid off!

Wow... that is just fantastic ... so great. I'm very impressed, and your pictures are always the best (like being there), thanks for that, I can almost smell the packaging...

It really depends on what kind of paint it is, but I know of a few options that should work. I can't recall where I first heard of it, but yes, as Concorde1993 mentioned, brake fluid is supposed to work for removing paint safely from plastic (most folks have some around). I have also used Simple...

Some good warnings, but the issues can be mitigated by not trying to rush things and also by paying attention to those that have done it correctly before. In this thread, PotatoFi has some excellent advice concerning post-retorbrite dressing that may prevent re-yellowing (I'm using it on my...

That is terrific - how much space do the sound samples take?

I saw this yesterday and thought that is really great, I'm up for that! (I usually solder on the extra power and led pins anyway, so a little more soldering would be nice)

I don't think it's possible to buy them right now (unless you get the second-hand, because from my understanding the chips they were based on became unobtainable), so they are not really an option (does anyone have them in stock?). I agree that they work well, but also agree that they are a...

You will be happy with the ZuluSCSI, but did you ever disassemble/clean/re-grease the floppy drive before you tried the floppy drive?

The pads came off because you didn't use the twist method. ;) Any chance of some pictures?
