Just a heads up, I fixed my issue (which looked exactly like what you had). Yes, it goes away with degaussing. Look at my above post for specifics.

Here is some follow-up in case someone stumbles on to this issue later: Yes, the issue appears to be fixable with degaussing. I bought a cheap degaussing wand on ebay (if you search for “degaussing coil”, you’ll probably see a ton of these cheap (10-20 USD) green wands: that’s what I bought). I...

If you somehow get it fixed, please post it here. I'm in the same boat you are in: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/color-classic-screen-dim-spot.44760/

I was given an eMac (G4/1.25 USB 2.0) recently that needed some recapping (one bad cap on the motherboard and almost all of the caps on the DVD drive / hard drive power supply). After re-capping, I thought it was good so I bought some stuff to max it out (RAM and an SSD). After installing the...

Below is a picture. Simple text is open to show the issue better. This unit hasn't been shipped in at least 25 or 30 years, so I don't think it was something loose from shipping. I do remember a time when the screen was perfect, maybe about 15 years ago. If I recall, it gave off a high pitched...

I dont think its burnt in. I've seen a few burnt in color CRTs and it doesn't really look like this. Also, the burnt in Mac CRTs Ive seen you can really see it around the menu bar.

Unity, I did test continuity with the cable, but to be sure I just re flowed the cable connector a couple minutes ago. Unfortunately, it didn't change the sound issue. Phipli, I'm starting to realize why people care about cameras on their phones; these images below are probably not useful...

I have my original Mac 512ke I've had since I was a kid in the 90s. I'm trying to show it some love after all these years (and a career in computers that started with this little mac) and get it more than fully working. While the machine appears to work after some tweaking, audio doesn't. I've...

I am the fortunate owner of a Color Classic. However, it has a screen issue. Basically, there is a big chunk of the screen that appears a bit dimmer than the rest. I've tried playing with the brightness, tweaking the (exposed) CRT settings, and even started just recapping the analog board. The...

A month or so ago I bought a MacClip on eBay (with the ultimate goal of running Minix, Common Lisp and a lot of that fancy Mac Plus software on my childhood Mac512ke!). Unknown to me at the time, this MacClip had a couple broken sockets. I know these old plastics are brittle, and I would...

I have a Macintosh Performa 5260/CD that appears to be dead. When plugged in and turned on, it gives a faint clicking sound, no video, no chimes. On disassembly, I noticed like a fine soot. Pulling the power supply board, I found what appears to be a burned up resistor (“r814”?). However, since...
