It can be found at the Home Depot, near the closet organization isle. I paid 35 dollars for each unit. It is pretty ideal, and you can fit 6 Macs to a shelf. They have a public thrift shop, they just needed someone to come along who knew how to restore macs.

Well, I can't slide em, but let me know which models you're interested in and I'll hook you up with the recycler web I'm done.

The triage shelf. About 20 PowerBooks, not shown.

Did somebody say retr0brite? I'm not sure I can disclose the recycler I'm with, I'll ask.

I'm in Portland.

The generational shelf. 128k 512k Plus Plus Platinum (not shown) SE SE FDHD SE Superdrive SE/30 Classic Classic II Performa 200 Color classic.

The shop in full swing.

Hi folks. I'm having some issues getting a 400k drive to read/write/erase. Initailly the drive mechanisim was so gunked up that I couldn't insert a disk into the drive. I removed the eject mechanisim and am soaking it in WD/40. While the drive was apart, I connected it to a Mac and mounted...

Favorite system so far. A 512k with a 20HD... running 6.0.1 8-o

Fortunately compact macs aren't worth a whole lot in raw material, between 6-10 dollars, add to that the fact that the CRT actually costs recyclers to dispose of. I imagine a lot of larger recyclers have a back room where they store these, and with their increasing value you will begin to see...

Strictly tooting my horn, none of the machines is ready to sell. I'm just excited about the job and figured I should share it with people who have the same strange obsession I do.

Hi everybody, You might know me as the guy who shoehorned an Intel Mini ATX Mobo into a color classic (as seen here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11543&p=113842#p113842 ) I've recently taken a position as a vintage electronics restoration specialist at a large electronics recycler, and have more...

Mac128, The previous post was a modded plus that had to be aborted due to monitor sizing issues. The mod will utilize the original color classic speaker once I find an amp of suitable size. To everyone mentioning X being capable of 640X480. The problem isn't that it supports it or no, but...

I apologize for the misleading title, it is indeed a dual core atom board. I chose the atom based on thermal characteristics, the space is really pretty confined, and doesn't allow for a more elaborate cooling setup. This problem is compounded by the fact that the CRT and analog board put off...

I've already had the hardware hackintoshed. The problem is only OSX's boot support for such a low resolution.

She'll run OSX, but osx doesn't nativly support 640 by 480 at boot, so I've got some work to do before install. XP was just for proof of concept, as it were, now that the hardware is together, she'll run Leo with Basilisk II for old times sake.

I thought I might show my latest mod, a core2duo color classic. Tearing down. Soldering 15 pin VGA socket into wiring loom, required some interesting research. Mounting new motherboard. Intel D945GCLF2 VGA modification of logic board Drives, fan, and power supply mounted...

My recent score off of ebay, the TAM was badly damaged in shipment, and not well cared for by its previous owner, I am painstakingly trying to restore it. But look at these. Sparticus, as most of you know, was the internal apple code name for the 20th anniversary macintosh. I wonder if...

Well hell.... Everyone was right, I received the monitor yesterday, and it can't fit. I suppose I'll have to go with the 8.4 Camos LCD screen. Perhaps I'll cut the front glass off of the plus' original monitor to make for a more accurate exterior. I don't really know that it is worth the...

}:) Woot! Picked it up off of ebay, has numerous small problems, hope to have it working like new shortly. I'll post pictures when it arrives. -Patrick Also scored a socketed sensie'd SE/30 .
