I'm working on it: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/recap-guide-12-rgb-monitor-m1296.36971/post-579523

I made this picture while recapping the same monitor. I hope it can be useful. The caps I found leakinf were the C521, C417, C418, C517 This is the table IDValue Notes C401 1uF 50V C404 25uF 220V C413 1uF 50V C414 100uf 50V C416 22uF...

I possibly caught an error in the list: cap C420 is not the electrolytic one, the correct ID is C404

I realised there are other options for "fixing" a CRT. There are solutions in AliExpress as well as open source projects (I was told about a guy showing his solution in an IT retro fair, but was not able to find it): *a new CRT driver board*. They all offer VGA input. e.g. link Adrian has a...

Shame on me — the brightness connector had come loose during disassembly. Now the image is back, but I still can’t set the brightness and contrast correctly: it’s either too dark, or, when I increase the brightness, diagonal stripes appear. From this, I can reasonably conclude that there is a...

mmm, not really, they were all brand new and from known factories ... this does not prove much, but, no, I did not test them. The ESP can be critical, but I thought I could improve the parts later if the image was not good enough, but this is ...bad!

I have a Macintosh 12" RGB M1296Z that was working properly until the image on the screen became slanted and compressed along the vertical axis. I disassembled the monitor and found three leaking capacitors in what I believe are in the VSync section. I was unable to find a replacement for the...

soft start, apologies FYI

the IIsi has software start, CayMac offers a board to do the trick. https://ko-fi.com/s/d39b78d435

hi mate, the IIsi has software start, CayMac offers a board to do the trick. Others here can describe a “do it yourself” board,

Hi @wottle , yes, I created the system myself. I'm a software engineering guy, now doing hands-on only at home, 'cause at work I just "power point" :) .. or better :( Anyhow, the system is very simple; not much development is involved, if any. For those who might be interested: - a Synology NAS...

@cheesestraws ... OMG ... yes they are two firewires, not DisplayPort... my bad, apologies :( I have not yet made an offer yet, it's working, OS 9.2 installed What is the small daughter card with lots of capacitors?

is it something rare? I'm not in the G3 really ....

Indeed... if living in the USA :)

To me, as long as the hard drives keep working, I won’t add a SCSI solid-state drive. The more original, the better. I use BlueSCSI or ZuluSCSI only for Macs whose hard drives no longer work. The spinning sound of a hard drive is a pleasant reminder of the good old times.

@Unknown_K , a video card had been added, as well as a 10Base-T network card. I'd love a cache, but as others mentioned they are pretty expensive and I've not found any reloaded projects.

... and both are perfectly working, still, for preservation reasons, I'll recap the LBs and ABs.

two new babies: LC475 + 7200/75 The 475 seems to be pristine!

I bought a Mac IIci with a surprisingly still-working Quantum 230 MB hard drive, and immediately made an image since it had MS Excel and MS Word installed. I recapped the logic board except for the axial capacitors. The PSU works fine and shows no bad capacitors, so I’m leaving it untouched...
