the CD-ROM tray is wanting to get stuck and not open. Seems like maybe the face plate and tray are not aligning correctly. Anyone else ever have this happen?

Ok, starting my list for further upgrades: 1) Replace or recap/restore power supply. Probably replace. Reading threads for the best options there. 2) figure out how to fit an accelerator card, ethernet, AND grey scale/video card in there. 3) source the best options at this point. For the...

Lots of great ideas, everyone. Thank you! Didn't know when I found this that I was finding something a little special. It is currently at my office in Boise, and I am in two job season, so it will be a bit before I can really tear in, but will do so eagerly when I have time. This will be...

Cool. I have both those discs coming. Originals I found on eBay. I will also open it up and check ram and etc., and check that shadow to be sure, and the other tips before doing that. And go from there,

OK, here it is! I have been excited about this. Figured out from the UPS store today. First a little unboxing. It was packed very well, in my opinion. Hooked everything up. The newer keyboard that doesn’t have the rainbow apple seems to work better as the Q key seems to be stuck on the one...

OK, thank you for all of the advice everyone. I will try to compile it and go step-by-step. I am away from that computer for several days so I will have to get into it next week. It is back in Boise and I am in Hailey for the weekend. But keep the suggestions coming if you see anything that is...

Just dropped down to the local computer recycler and picked up an imagewriter II and Laserwriter NT for 20 bucks each. Not that I really need them as I have more modern stuff that I use for my business, but I figure it will be fun in the case of the imagewriter II to play around with that old...

Thanks. Following now.

I am wanting to do something like this to my incoming machine which already had the logic board and analog board recapped. Not sure about the PSU yet. It gets here today. Interested in the pros and cons of going this way vs, the LCD kit. I think I like the idea of keeping the monochrome...

Am going to love it if @zigzagjoe decides to do a few more of these!

I found one of those online too in case I need it.

Ok, I will check that out. I sourced an inexpensive original OS 9 disk on eBay and have that coming. And sourcing some new plastic bits.

Funny, I didn’t have any specific intention, but I saw it when I was surfing around Facebook marketplace and couldn’t pass up the price. And it will be useful, I think once I get it up and running properly. The plastic is pretty darn brittle, and one of the little handles already cracked...

Got this for 50 bucks from a guy who was given it from a gentleman who used to have a Mac museum somewhere here in the Boise area. This was his working second of this model. Looks pretty clean, but it is freezing. It also keeps saying that the MPEG extension of QuickTime 6.02 want lunch. And...

That is the direction I will head with this machine when I can get there.

Good idea. Will keep my eyes open.

Should get here Thursday! Meanwhile, I am having fun on the other later 90s unit.

OK, figured out this machine has an ATI rage 128 in it along with a USB and firewire port in another slot. Went through a little bit of confusion and trouble with having set the resolution wrong on the old Apple studio display, and then couldn’t fix it because I couldn’t see anything on the...

I actually like this look better. I may need to still recap this Apple studio display, but things seem to be working better now.

OK, yeah, when I have a chance to open it up and look, I will. Just did some other work today and then recovered from setting the resolution wrong and freaking out the Apple studio display, and then not being able to undo it because I couldn’t see what I was doing. Went down to the Reuseum...
