Yeah.  Noticed that now. 

This is very good photoshop. Color me fooled. If the base has the battery in it the weight might balance, but there'd need to be more weight in there to make it reliably stable for an actual consumer product.

I was under the impression (6 months ago) that that was an actual physical hack someone made out of 11" MacBook Air bits. I think it was a one-off though.

Wow!

Excellent.

My local recyclers won't even sell CRTs any more, because for a few years now Missouri makes them charge $12-$15 per tube to recycle them (which totally doesn't make people leave them on random corners instead of easily and responsibly recycling them... ::) ).  Once they've charged somebody to...

I'm fairly sure the "brand new" we're talking about here is really "new old stock."  I suppose there might be a Chinese factory still churning out tiny black and white CRTs.  I'm assuming they've been sitting around in their unopened boxes for at least 10 years.

I figure they are $40 each + $30 shipping. I'd have several of your iMacs if I could lay $10 in your hand hop in my car and drive to my near by home. Shipping is the worst part of the CRT end of this hobby.

The SVGA "monochrome" 9-inch monitor I have was grayscale, by virtue of sending all three color signals to one pin on its little AB. And its curvature fit the Classic II bezel curve-for-curve bolt-for-bolt; perfect. I never took the yoke off, but someone (probably techknight) assured me the pins...

I will be taking it apart immediately upon receiving it :) I'm using it for a hack that was detailed in a nice long thread here but, after the picture purge of '14, that thread is now completely useless. I'll (perhaps ironically) post pictures in this thread when it arrives.

"New Factory Sealed 15-pin Super VGA 9" Monochrome VM-9AF Monitor" Long eBay link. Not my auction, etc... I put this in H&D instead of Trading Post because these little monitors are really only interesting if you're hacking a (already really dead) compact Mac to: be an external monitor...

Most of us here swear by Uniserver, although being in the Bay area you can probably find someone local. Uni does all my soldering, and I couldn't be happier with his work.  There's a thread around here... https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/19026-need-a-re-cap-i-can-help/

I know it wouldn't be authentic but, unlike the keyboard (which would need key caps), the Apple teardrop ADB mouse comes apart and paints up real easy with black for-plastic paint.  I even taped up the metal shroud on the plug and painted the whole mouse cable too.  Wasn't perfect, but it looked...

He has VRAM, but it's 80ns VRAM. He wants to know if his set up will work WITH 80ns VRAM, because he is without 70ns VRAM, which is recommended by the overclocking guide. mraroid, I don't have an answer for you, but I'll be watching your progress with interest!

You can find 10" "flatscreen" monitors out there, but you'll have two problems to overcome. The flat screen won't fit the very curvy bezel that housed the very not-flatscreen Sony Trinitron CRT.  You'll have to make up the difference somehow. The bigger problem is actually finding a 9" or 10"...

Second vote for the G4-mini and 10" VGA tube (if you can find it). But if you're going to bother making it more modern, why go half way?  Drop a brand new Mac mini in there, or better yet, just make it a monitor with a hollow bottom half, so you can always use it with the...

That TV is begging for a '70s Pong console

I'm pretty sure it has onboard video.

The +5V wire pin on the Plus's Analog board connector is position 6 (there are eleven positions so you can count from either side, but technically pin 1 is next to the empty pin 2 position: 1 _ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11). Pins 7 and 9 are ground.  Page 10 of...
