I will! The Takky is homemade some twenty years ago. I might have been lucky, but only followed the detailed instructions to do it. I also hacked the chassis to make room for a CS ethernett-card and the TV/video-card. I regret the later now. Analog TV is not that hot in 2020 :-)  Also did the...

Finished! The keys are usable and a lot better than they where. But still not the best keyboard :-) . I also tried my first retrobrightning: diluted hydroperoxyd in a large kettle, trying to “cook” the parts at 80* C for 4 hours. It’s a lot better than it was, but it’s still more beige/yellow...

Thanks! And Happy New Year! It looks like it’s the thicker, brass part of the switch that needs to be bent towards the copper leaf to make the contact better. The keyboards were pretty clean inside, but after some dusting - and maybe the disassembly/assembly - the numeric keypad works. I have...

Thanks! edit: I found this: http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/apple_adjustable_e.html and this: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKFR/SKFS_series#SKFS_White

Merry Christmas! Did you read this thread? Do you use the same cable inside and outside of the Mac - and the same cable with the other drive?

First picture is the keyswitch without key caps, shaft, spring and the top-lid of the keyswitch. The blue line marks the actual switch. On the opposite side is the “click-gismo”. Next picture is another angel without the tactile spring. Red lines mark the tiny dents that keep the top-lid in...

I found out!

I must admit I didn’t try the small F-keys on the numeric keypad, only the the ordinary keys. Neither the numbers nor the arrow-keys worked. So I wondered if there was something I had to do to enable the numeric keypad. Most of the keys on the ordinary keyboard worked as good as one could...

Hi, I’m trying to get my Adjustable Keyboard to work. Apart from the usual flakey keys, the separate Nummeric pad isn’t working. I’ve only found one set old instal disks for the keyboard on Macintosh Garden, but it will not install on my system. I’m running a Colour Classic Takky (6500...

Hi, last (and only one lately) I’ve seen fore sale in Norway vent for $230. It was realy nice and came with a StyleWriter, though probably not recapped. I tried to sell my CC Takky for $500, but did not get any offers. It has issues, and I decided to try and fix it instead. I’m afraid the...

Hi! I used CRC 2-26 for the rinsing. I`m not sure if that`s the same as DeOxit, but it was the only product they had at the local hardwarestore. And it apperntly it worked - though I`m not shure of the long term effect.

Thanks, I might need this! I dug out my Takky again (6500, 300mhz motherboard), to see if I could fix its shortcomings: the blue channel was missing from the display. After rinsing the display-adjustment pots and resoldering some dodgy looking connections on the analogboard, the blue channel...

Gee! Its back!  :wub: I reseated the v-ram and gave them a wash. The edge-connector looked good, but also recieved a polish. No strange sounds and no whine :-) Thanks! As I told you, I might be back with my Takky. It has some issues. But is this the right forum? Should the Mystic realy be...

Thank you! No, the analogboard in this CC is completly stock, and looks very nice. The computer was very well kept when I bought it back in 2000-somthing. I used ResEdit on the systemfiles to make the 575 motherboard work in this CC because I didnt want to tamper with the hardware (I had backup...

HI! I’m new here!  Well, I might have been a member 20-16 years ago - that was when I collected and played with old Macs. But as always wife, kids, work, life and divorce got in the way. After cleaning the attic I found most of the old toys I had forgotten about. There among two Colour...
