Just an idea that came to my mind when working on both my PowerBook 5300ce and 150. Both of them suffer from that PITA hinge and stress cracking issue. Both have the standoffs ripped off the housing and the 5300 is literally crumbling with the Rev. A plastics. As the 5300 fell apart in my hand...

I'll throw my 2 cents in quickly. Surprised no one mentioned in detail the Power Mac G4's as a bridge unit. It is one of the best Macs you can get. The fastest to run OS 9 natively (dual 1.25 7450e's in the '02 MDD), excellent in Tiger or Leopard, ample connectivity for everything under the mac...

Saw this on /r/VintageApple subreddit a couple of minutes ago. I'll echo what everyone else has been saying, it is a really nice find! I thought I was lucky finding an iBook Clamshell 466 in Graphite for $25 with the same accessories you got. I have the same thing with the battery. I even...

I think there is/was a service that would either refurbish or retrofit Mac Portable batteries. The name totally escapes me right now, but i'll see if I can track it down. I know there is some (understandable) doubt about sending our Apple stuff out to an external 3rd-party, but it since the...

I'll give some stories to restart this thread. Buying and restoring have left me with a lot of drives left unwiped.  Included a 6300CD I bought on eBay for $20, looked like it was used in a basement lab of someone for a good amount of time. Before the drive went I was able to find some digital...

Really interesting idea! I would love to see how this entire thing pans out. Most Macs haven't seen a chat room since the early 2000's! The only thing is right now, I cannot seem to download the app at all, for any of the versions. It will just redirect to the download site again. I'm not sure...

And I missed something. For some reason the monitors control panel was not working when I turned on the color option with one of my monitors. It seems with another monitor fixed that issue. Sorry. Mods, lock or delete the thread please. 

Hi all, I'm starting to wonder if I missed something, but currently my LC II (a Performa 430) does not have the option to display any color in the control panel. Before the HDD crashed it was running 7.1P2 and had all color options. It is now currently running System 7.1.2, which I reinstalled...
