As topic title states, I'm looking for a 28 Pin PLCC male plug, so I can do some SWIM work. I have found these available for $140 already mounted to an adapter board, but I have been unable to locate the part by itself. I suppose it could be fabricated via 3D printing and some additional work...

Ouch! Back when I was into restoring autos, there was a fellow sports car aficionado, who said, "...there are two types of owners, those that can afford them and those that cannot." It took me a while longer to figure out that the costs come in many forms - time and effort being the most dear...

It looks like you no longer plan to 3d print it (I don't have access to a 3d scanner), but if you need photos with detail/measurements, let me know - there is a little more to it than just a hole in the right location. I'm going to install it (eventually), but since all the components are...

Your work might also provide an insight into how some programs seem to 'know' that the original file has been copied. Did you attempt the copy between volumes? I assume the result would be the same, but it would eliminate the change of name that accompanied the examples you listed.

I like it too - a functional and useful, custom hot-rod! Its projects like this that have helped me to break out of the restoration-only mindset and start using mods to bring some of my pieces back to life! Great job, SophieRose! And isn't that what it's all about? :cool:

Looking forward to this! I have 4 MDDs (all on their original PSU and fine so far) that will need attention in that area eventually, so it will be instructive to see what you encounter/overcome to get this solution working.

I don't suppose you have an order list for these and also for the Duo MB and Screen from your source? (DigiKey?/Mouser?)

I've only have 6 Mac II adjacent (II, IIx, IIfx) units and I've not had a failure either, but I have had to replace a fan and I took the time to clean all of them inside and out. I agree that re-capping the logic board is going to be your first priority.

Eager to watch...

I tried out the no-FPU 040 again today, to refresh my memory of the issue with it and it booted with a normal chime, but there was no video or apparent further boot processing, since the HD did not progress. After trying a couple of more reboots to make sure that was the only result, I swapped...

Do you have a picture of this that you can post? Also, how are you washing the board? I had a no FPU 040 chip I tried and I don't believe it worked on mine - I don't recall the exact way it failed to work, but I can recheck that on mine and report back.

Deutschland? https://www.amazon.de/-/en/PowerSmart-Power-Connector-Apple-Female/dp/B0CM8Z2BTH It appears to be for a listing that only allows for shipping within Germany... couldn't even get a price. ...or Belgium...

Makes sense, since it would facilitate hard drive adoption by removing one of the obstacles "I have to run XXXX off a floppy anyway, so why buy a hard disk?". Excellent catch and a nice discovery! :cool:

Not sure if there is any help there, but pp 49 - 50 in the dead Mac scrolls cover this condition... It looks like the explanations on page 49 cover fixes that you have already attempted (resoldering J1 and then recapping should have addressed C5). Page 50 covers other potential electrical issues...

...and about this link...?

I can't argue much... I picked up an LC from eBay a couple months back for 66 bucks shipped and it literally was missing the HD, floppy, needed a re-cap and was missing the PSU, but it had all the cables, memory, VRAM and was pristine inside and out with a perfect case. I really didn't care if...

Hot air also (nice tip about the single edge razor blades btw, I'll have to try that). Like the OP, I have some ChipQuik (generic though) as well and haven't used it yet either.

Looks great! I've recapped one of those PSU's in an SE of mine, got another ready to test and and another in an SE/30 that will probably need to be re-capped. Looking at your working area there, I think you made a great choice taking the alternative path and getting yours running with the...

It does look really nice, and just the right shade of mature. Be careful with the back panel and especially with the side clips. I tried taking mine apart one time, and that was something I never tried again! Good luck with yours!

I don't have a lot of items that are NRFB, and also sealed in the plastic outer wrap, but when I get them, it is really difficult not to just leave them that way. This one may come out eventually, but for now, since the plastic is still in such excellent shape, as well as the box itself, I...
