    Struggling to remove SE/30 axial capacitors old leads - any tips?

    Applying some fresh leaded solder will lower the melting point. Alternatively as @superjer2000 mentioned, some low melt solder will make quick work of stubborn spots. Especially if they're attached to the ground plane. You just need to be extra careful and make sure to remove all the low melt...

    Macintosh SE/30 Upgrades (Early Christmas)

    @jmacz I don't know why, but I really like the support brackets. Makes it look more "premium." Like if Apple had done it originally, you'd 've thought their engineers went out of their way to make sure all the SIMMs and batteries stay put no matter what.

    luRaichu’s 68k spelunking

    @finkmac Würth. The affordable quality cap. My favorite brand. Too bad they don't make axials.

    Unidentified PDS ethernet card

    @cgp Here's the original one you linked to. It mounted with Shrinkwrap, so I converted it to Disk Copy.

    Mr Fahrenheit’s conquests

    @MrFahrenheit What do you use for a straight edge and for scoring? I have a metal ruler with cork on the bottom, but it doesn't always stay put and it likes to slide around.

    Greenspring Computers Quad Serial Model 1280 NuBus card

    Found an eBay auction for a "working pull." I messaged the seller on the off chance they might still have the computer. Maybe copy the software. I really doubt it'll pan out, but who knows.

    Levco MonsterMac with SCSI and lots of dirt

    That's pretty similar to the HyperDrive. Cool looking upgrade. Hopefully when you get it working it'll boot with the funny Monster Mac instead of the Happy Mac. :)
