Nice find, and definitely has a good story to go with it! I don't use a CRT for most of my retro gaming anymore(I use an OSSC or Retrotink as an upscaler to hook up to my LCD), I definitely wouldn't turn one down at a good price like that! I do have a small JVC professional CRT, like 9", that...

yeah, I was surprised when he sent me the pictures of it, and even more surprised when he checked both and they were in good shape!

And the final part of the G4 setup, a friend was at Goodwill and texted me that they had 2 Apple 17" LCDs in box for $75 total.  Looked online and that seemed like it was a good deal, especially in the box, so I had him pick them both up for me. First one works, haven't tried the 2nd one yet

I got a ZIP bezel for the G4 above, makes it look so much nicer. Also cleaned up the labels on the top. ZIP bezel was $10 on ebay, someone has some new-old-stock ones...

Oh man that's cool!  Good luck

there was a whole argument on one of the Mac Facebook groups about this a couple of months ago.  Some guy had a dead Quantum drive, popped it open, there was a plastic piece that was locking the head, if you wiggle it the drive works for a couple of days, and then stops again, and he was asking...

I was able to successfully reset my password with it. You may have luck emailing info[at]macintoshrepository.org since thats where the password reset email comes from,  not sure if anyone actually checks that mailbox or not

I can't give away my secrets!  :p It was Clearing House Estate sales.   https://www.auctionninja.com/clearinghouseestatesales/ But the actual pickup was Silver City Auction House in Meriden, not sure if they're owned by Clearing House, or partnered with them, or what.   Facebook knows me...

Do I need another G4?  Nope Do I have room for another G4?  Nah Do I have a use for it?  Not really But I got another Powermac G4 today.  A local auction house was having an online vintage electronics auction, not much that I was interested in(mostly audio stuff/some tubes), but I spotted...

What are some Mac games that are MT32 compatible?  I currently have my Roland synth hooked up to my Pentium PC for DOS games, but I do have an Apple serial to MIDI interface too

The SCSI2SD V4 uses a 7406 which are <$1 each, maybe that's a possible alternative?  Looking at the datasheet it appears to be able to sink 48ma https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/texas-instruments/SN7406DRG4/296-48954-1-ND/8635017

Was good to meet you to! Hopefully whenever is safe to do so we can do some kind of actual meetup.   Not sure what to do with it yet. I think I'm up to 4 iMac G3s now, I might try to recreate this keynote demo (on a much smaller scale) with my G4 tower acting as a server

Couple of conquests this week, Yesterday from LaPorta I picked up a couple of Multiscan 15 displays, one in pretty nice shape, one has some issues with the plastics,  and a couple of auto inject 1.4mb drives A few days ago from a friend who ran a computer repair shop for about...
