So to clarify, in order to free the analog board, I will have to open up the metal 'cage' on top of the CRT and remove the neck board which would also need recapping. I've already disconnected the anode and all the other connectors to the analog board so I believe the neck board is the only...

I am in the process of tearing down my iMac G3 with the purpose of shipping out the motherboard, analog board, and PSU for recapping. I was able to get the motherboard and PSU out after a good deal of effort, and was just starting the final push to remove the analog board. I was able to remove...

Regarding the screen and focus control, are those dials that are internal to the machine? And also I assume the machine has to be on when I'm doing this since otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the results of the adjustments?

Thanks for the responses. I'll be looking at recapping all the boards in the G3 once I get my hands on an SE/30 (so I can send those boards out at the same time) and see if that helps alleviate the issue. In the meantime, is there a way to determine if the flyback transformer is at fault through...

I have an iMac G3 revision B as part of my (very small) collection. Everything seems to be working great, but a couple of weeks back I noticed that every ten or twenty minutes or so after startup, the screen makes a small clicking sound and then flickers briefly (kind of like how the picture...

It looks like version 1.2.2 is available on Macintosh Garden: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mathematica-1 It's in StuffIt archive format, not sure if that is an issue for you.

Not to hijack the thread, but what happened that caused Uniserver to be banned?

As far as using HFVExplorer goes, if you have the disk images already available (such as those for Disk Tools or System 6/7 install disks) then it should just be a matter of opening the application and then selecting File > Write volume to floppy. Then specify the floppy drive (should be A:)...

I've previously used HFVExplorer for Windows to create writable floppies for my LC III, used in tandem with an external floppy drive. I was able to install System 7.1 and System 7.5.3 from scratch and put a bunch of old games on the machine using the floppy disks formatted using that program, so...

I don't know anything about floppy emu, but at least regarding the data format you can create .dsk images using HFVExplorer fairly easily. As far as I know it runs on Windows only, however. If you are using a modern Mac to do this work then you might try looking at this site for some pointers...

Yes I'm based out of Minnesota

@olePigeon That's a very generous offer! To be honest, the machine you're describing generally exceeds my needs - I have an external hard drive which I was intending to use for the SE/30 and I don't have any plans to take the machine online. However, the recap and quality of the A/B and CRT are...

I'm looking to acquire an SE/30 to round off my (small) collection of 68k machines, and I saw this entry on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-SE-30-Vintage-Computer-w-Network-Card-READ-Description-/361522568007?hash=item542c6c9b47:g:JBQAAOSwZQxW6f~h It appears to be in good...

An update nearly two months later, I tried some more technical solutions to the issue with my LC III board but it proved not to alleviate the sound issues. I ended up buying a new board (from uniserver) and confirmed everything is working correctly, while keeping the original board for parts or...

Okay well I managed to dig out my old soldering iron and tried melting the joints on either end of C4. I think I succeeded although my iron is kind of fat on the end so it's a bit cumbersome trying to get at that cap without nudging against other components on the board. I booted the machine and...

A quick report, I cleaned up all of the regions around the DAC, the caps and other chips in that region of the board with alcohol and let it dry. The speakers are popping again, but I can't seem to make any sound come through apart from that. Also tried applying gentle pressure to the board near...

I do have a soldering iron, not entirely sure how to use it though. Are there any specific instructions to follow apart from just heating them up, to make sure the connection remains intact after the fact?

@uniserver I sent you some closeups of C4 in a PM a few weeks ago but here is a fresh set of pictures from today: http://imgur.com/a/kr3vU As far as I can tell C4 is soldered correctly, insofar as the connection between the cap and the pad appears to be contiguous, but I'm not an expert on...

I've uploaded a few more pictures of the relevant area here: http://imgur.com/a/dPFLF I noticed there are some markings that may be from the Pledge that I used to spray the board down before baking. I'm assuming that's a normal consequence of the silicone oil? Otherwise I might try cleaning...

A quick update, I tried an amalgam of what Elfen and Uniserver were suggesting since I don't have all materials readily on hand. I cleaned the board all over with CRC QD electronics cleaner, waited for it to dry, then cleaned the areas around the sound chip, audio jack, and speaker connectors...
