    Quadra 950 restoration procedure questions and thoughts.

    I don't want to buy an ultrasonic cleaner.  Is there a certain type of business that has these, even if for cleaning other things that I could see if there is any in my town.  Do you provide a cleaning service? :)  This is a big board, I just looked up the cleaners and I don't want to spend...

    I just got my grail, Quadra 950. Need advice for restoration.

    Well... I dont know if that would have helped in this case, I definitely didn't detect and moisture and its been in climate control for 72 hours but yes you're right...  I was more worried about the PSU being bad and putting out voltages that could damage the board, that may be what happened...

    BGE's take on the Quadra 900/950 ATX PSU Mod

    Hi guys.  I dont mean to hijack this thread but in doing some preliminary searches I came across this incredibly fascinating thread and wondered if you guys might tell me what happened when I powered on the 950 I just acquired.  Link to my post,  I hope I did not damage the board.  Im not...

    I just got my grail, Quadra 950. Need advice for restoration.

    Hi Guys, Im new to the forum (and restoring vintage tech) but pretty active in r/vinatgeapple.  Last week a gentleman who cleans out warehouses in search of old tech posted on r/vintageapple and had a 950 in his haul.  (see album here https://imgur.com/a/ypS1VTJ). I made him an offer and he...
