Prior to the site crash, I noted that I had purchased an Apple ADC-to-DVI adapter for my 22" Cinema Display. Unfortunately nothing happened when I connected the Cinema Display to my IIfx. Didn't matter if I used my High-Res card or the 8.24 GC card. Fast-forward a few months: my 19" LaCie...

I'm here until Big Brother crashes the site again.

Just list it for $1000 on Kijiji. And don't forget to put "RARE" and "VINTAGE" in the ad title.

Here's hoping but I highly doubt Papa Ford is going to reopen everything in February, especially now with all of these variants popping up. Besides, we already went through with this nonsense last June with modified stages and this is the outcome thus far.  Damn I wish you lived closer. I drove...

So I picked up a 22" (even though it was advertised as a 23" HD) M8149 Apple Cinema display monitor yesterday for $100 (pics to come later). Works (seller had it hooked up to his G4), just needs some cleaning up. Heavy bugger.  Stupid question: I learned that there was an earlier model, the...

Driven hard, put away wet. 

I've tried booting without extensions; doesn't seem to make a difference. If I ever get really motivated, I might attempt to remove the hard drive and try it on my Quadra 950 or G3 tower. 

If you are referring to the rubber texture on the back of the screen, they generally tend to wear out quick around the corners and are very scratch-prone so some care is needed. Otherwise its fairly durable. The only *real* issues that I've had with ThinkPads are the hinges, batteries, and...

It's everything. Screws, trap doors, top/bottom cover, etc. These PowerBooks are a pain in the ass. Nothing like an old ThinkPad that you can just leave for months on end and it will work again with little fuss. 

Count me in as another Kanga owner with boot problems. Mine will reach the welcome screen, try to load, and then hang indefinitely. Restart sometimes results in chimes of death or a return to the welcome screen with the same hanging problem.  I really don't want to dig too deep into this thing...

Apart from aesthetics, I never really cared for Apple's final CRT models. Too many flyback transformer failures and the plastics were brittle. My LaCie Electron Blue IV (which is essentially the same monitor) has been flawless in the 5+ years I've owned it and as noted earlier, works perfectly...

Good to hear people are still level-headed in Switzerland. Ever since Steve Jobs died, mostly everyone in my neck of the woods increased their prices tenfold convinced that they now owned a rare and unique item. Another factor is all of those YouTube personalities who do reviews or service old...

I almost acquired a 20" ADC monitor (near-mint with the original box) but the seller ultimately wouldn't budge on price even though it had been on Kijiji forever. Haven't seen it posted there in sometime so I guess someone bought it (or it went to eBay for a billion $$$).  The user Beachycove...

So the computer was doused in feces?  :-O

A similar problem happened to me years ago. I snagged a working ImageWriter LQ on the cheap through eBay. It came with the owner's manual, software, spare ribbons, and an aftermarket dust cover. The unit itself was in great shape minus some yellowing and sticker residue. Needless to say, the...

There appears to be quite a market here for CRT/video parts, but I can see your point that the practice of removing specific parts for one client would be very cost prohibitive for an electronic vendor (possible massive group buy?)  ;-)   Anyway, the search goes on. 

Here's the email:  "Just selling any part of a monitor case isn’t likely going to happen. We can’t recycle them without a case." Doesn't make any sense to me. Are the recycling laws in Denver that strict? 

I reached out to the Apple Rescue of Denver which has several M1297 and M0401 monitors listed on their site. Apparently they cannot sell the bezel separately as the case needs to be intact to recycle the monitor. I'm not criticizing their policy as I am totally oblivious to U.S. law, but can...

The Quadra has been dormant for sometime so I don't have a proper diagnosis to offer. I recall wanting to test out another HD to see if I could replicate the issue but I never bothered. If I get to it I'll update the thread. 

No. The monitor you gave me was the Macintosh Color Display. I received the RGB monitor during my Quadra 950 conquest, which is well-documented in this thread. Unfortunately, the front bezel was damaged while cleaning my workstation, and I'm still on the lookout for a replacement. Of course, I...
