I have an SE/30 that wasn't working at all, but with a good clean and a recap I've got a boot sound etc again. Unfortunately it has some kind of video issue, in fact the screen looks exactly the same as the photo from this Apple Fritter post from five years...

I've noticed similar, but I've not yet been through all my mice to check the differences. I wonder if there's more than four?!

Keep up the great work :) There are a lot of SE/30 repair threads in the forum at the moment! I have a dead logicboard, a working one, and one that's somewhere in between... 

Haha is this an approved technique?  ;)

Hi Richard - welcome! I live a couple of miles from MacSmiths. As far as I know they only fix modern Macs. They didn't seem very interested in chatting about vintage Macs when I went in a couple of years ago despite their shelves being full of old Macs, a TAM, some Apple IIs and a Lisa :( I...

Congratulations! Once my Macintoshes stop dying left right and centre I'll take some time to work on my Lisa keyboard

Thank you for the diagnoses - I'll start investigating based on those :)

That is awesome :)  Glad you're all up and running

Brilliant! I knew 6.0.6 had issues but love to hear these kind of stories :)

I have a very similar, if not the same issue (accompanied by the boot chimes of death) - see third picture here below, on my instagram. I've recapped it, cleaned the board, removed all the RAM and ROM SIMMs, and I tested the "Bourns" or resistor networks as per this video of techknight's (can't...

Cool, I have a Gold Master of System 7 too :)

This is awesome! I'll be sure to be printing one off as soon as you've perfected the design :)

I'm pretty sure Juggler was the codename for System 6's MultiFinder, the multitasking update for Macintosh, see this news article: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fGXpro99fIsC&lpg=PP1&ots=AVKJinM6GZ&dq=apple macintosh juggler system 6&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=apple macintosh...

That article looks very extensive and interesting - instapapered! thank you :)

This is great - another project to add to my backlog!

Yeah that is pretty hard to imagine! The I/O backplane and cards alone are a tad on the bulky side...

Aw a IIsi was the first Mac I owned myself, bought second hand when I was a kid. Sold it to help pay for my first from-new Mac, a PM 6100 with DOS card. Nice idea to have a System 6 machine, I may do similarly with either my IIci or IIsi. My family's first Mac was a Classic II running 7.1 so...

Always nice to meet a proper workhorse Mac!

Great haul... and a bargain one at that!

Yep had to do the same to mine. Not fun to work on that PSU!
