So I have 3 Classic IIs now, and all of them have issues post a recap of analog and logic boards.  The first one (before I removed the EGRET chip and cleaned underneath it) would do the following: 1) Bars - sometimes if I flicked the switch off/on rapidly at this stage it would boot up...

So I picked up a MacCon card for cheap - however it has a damaged cap on C7.  Does anybody have a value on it? The cap (or whatever remains of it) doesn't have a readable value anymore.

Two years ago I got a mint boxed IIGS setup (ROM 3 with monitor/1x of each drive) with a large amount of boxed software for $250 (IIc system was included as well). I've been incredibly lazy about setting it up properly unfortunately, so it's still rather stock (High Speed SCSI card and the basic...

Honestly the short jumpers are a bit tougher to find than the standard hd jumpers, I have just scavenged mine from other dead drives I've had here. 

You would have to put a jumper on Terminator Enable as well as TP2.

Awesome! Yeah, NDD works great. Enjoy the CC, they really are great machines. :)  They do need to be recapped eventually though.

Excellent! Yeah, Quantum drives do have some long term reliability issues unfortunately. This is one of the methods used to recover data from them but i don't know how much it'd differ since your drive does seem to work initially before throwing a blinking floppy.

When this has happened to me (Happy Mac then question mark) it's almost always been an issue with the System file on the hard drive (but not always). Easiest way to fix the issue would be to reinstall system software, and at the minimum I would boot from a Disk Tools disk of some sort to see...

So recently I picked up a 4th PB 100 for $25 shipped, as the screen looked nice and all of my working PB 100s have screen rot. Figured I'd give a crack at actually fixing it before parting it out. Recapped all radial/SMT caps and LCD (also booting from a recapped PSU of the proper voltage) -...

Definitely a good suggestion - this board behaved the exact same way on my Classic (as well as my CII) before I reseated the ROM, so it wasn't an analog board issue.

Reseating the ROM seems to have fixed this issue. :)

Board has already been lightly washed and thoroughly IPA cleaned but I’ll do it again, ty! Because this isn’t my board I would prefer to keep the dishwasher to a last resort. Was mostly looking to see if anybody’s seen this particular version of the issue before.

Thanks tech, I've fixed/resoldered the inductor thankfully so hopefully it holds up.

So I've been recapping another MLA board member's Classic I board, and an issue that I've encountered after the recap was finished is the following. This behavior apparently happened beforehand to at a more frequent degree. About every once in a while (1 out of 15 boots or so) I get either the...

So I was recapping yet another PB 100. In the past I didn't seem to have issue with removing this inductor (to make recapping easier) but this time I unfortunately knocked off the leg of this inductor. Going to try and salvage it but can anybody point me to a compatible replacement just in case...

@joshc Believe it or not, this SE/30 was actually posted as an offer post! Though I had a wanted ad ongoing at the same time (all of the things I mentioned in the prior post came from replies to the ad). You bet that I immediately jumped on the opportunity when I saw the post. My general ad...

@rplacd it really depends. When I started collecting 10+ years ago it was a lot easier, I think I just got really lucky around now. Still worth a try nowadays!   also, brought home the SE/30. Pretty good shape  minus it not working just yet, but I’m not complaining for free either.

Tried my hand at a Freecycle ad again and got lucky this time over the past few weeks. Picked up the following for free: Macintosh Plus system (no KB but came with mouse, external FDD, Jasmine SCSI HD, bag) -Apparently bought used in the early 90s but she wound up never using the Plus. Works...

I can confirm it fits great!
