Oh interesting. What do I need to look at or take a picture of?

Ill have to do the SEs later as I don't have a long enough driver to get the screws out and cant find an extension. So thats it for today.. I did however get to my other place to take pictures of the monitors Sorry alot of pics, random angles and shit it was dark down there no light so i just...

Heres the M0001. I have to say its in alot better shape than i thought it was. Its literally mint cosmetically. Even the piece of white cardboard on the back of the board looks new still lol. Is this a 128k mac? I am however having problems getting it to go back together and i dont want to risk...

I'll look into it later, or perhaps someone else could do it if i mailed it to them. If its important enough. So I have 5 power mac 7xxxs to go through still, anything decent to find in them possibly? Then the 3 duo docks, what should I do with those as far as preservation, do they have...

Very interesting indeed remind me later because i planned on imaging all the drives when its all said and done as some people recommended.

Nice, I had 2 good ones in the lot. And 1 good 475 as well. One of the LCs had an accelerator card in it as well which i was pumped about

Will do thank you for the heads up I am going to go look now

Heres a pretty unique one I think Sun Ultra 1 Creator3D According to the wiki "The Ultra 1 Creator3D 170E launched with a list price of US$27,995 (equivalent to $57,800 in 2024)" I may be wrong because the gov and universities love wasting taxpayers money through grants, but I don't think...

So for the sake of not taking all day and the computers not being that interesting I tore open a bunch of Quadra 605/610 and Power Mac 6000 series. About half of them the batteries had blew and the boards were BAD to me id say unfixable. One stack has 2 good 605s and 2 good 610s.. Other stack...

Cool thanks, thats what I was hoping lol

Here is the SiliconGraphics Indy. This one has boards on top of boards inside im going to have to do some research to figure out where the battery is.. That little black rectangle says timekeeper on it. Anyone familiar with these? Trying to find the battery. Going to take a little break for a...

Are they pcbs anything good is the question lol

Ended up being only 1 IIcx here it is, not sure what the cards are. Tore it down and cleaned it up half ass Going to move onto the silicongraphics indy next i never seen one of these before curious to check out the insides :)

Im tearing down the IIcx right now and after that I think ill do the silicongraphics because i want to check it out too so within an hour or 2 ill post pics of the inside. Edit: Also unfortunately one of the 2 IIfx's board was toast ill post a pic later, so im def. keeping this one

Hmm I think i see what you mean it looks almost like powdery mildew. Thats what I thought i was looking at. There is a white kind of powdery dust all over the outside of the cases as well I thought it was the by-product of 30 years of rodent piss/ammonia as that normally turns into kind of hard...

Well i am hoping for some luck, and so far ive carefully inspected (albeit with an untrained eye) and havent seen any liquid or goo or crud on any minus the one LC I just posted that had the battery removed theres some minor corrosion.

So change of plans I went with the 2 LCs and 1 LC 475 of the lot. One of the LCs says bad motherboard and the battery was removed with what looks like very minor leakage, so I wonder if its a simple fix maybe a bad trace or something because it certainly isnt as bad as it could be? Who knows...

Day 2 of the battery removal/cleaning. Here are the 2 IIsi's. Look good to me no bad batteries so far and as far as i can tell I havent even seen 1 bulged capacitor on a board yet but im only 6 machines in. So far so good! Also since someone mentioned cards I included 2 random cards that were...

The only apple laptop of the whole lot is the one stuck in the duo dock. I got about 6 or 8 windows laptops though ranging from 286 to pentium 3. I think 4 are thinkpads, 2 compaqs, some bondwell brand i never heard of. I haven't checked them out yet one says bad screen though. As far as the...

I will be opening up every single one I have to remove the battery, i will check for damage and take a picture of the cards etc and post here. I am excited to check for the cards its one of the first things I thought of. I also have a shitload of PCs maybe I have a voodoo 3 or something in one...
