That's me... I have an innate ability to find the fragile ones. Oh! and ditto! Great work!

That's exactly what I normally do. I try to pick up all the battery bombed boards I can for the ram slots and parts. I'm sure those plastic ones were fine for the day (and cheaper for apple), but they definetly haven't passed the test of time. I cringe any time I have to remove a stick of ram...

Check your legs on the 030 (around 51). I had a iisi sad mac'n (acting like bad memory) due to a leg lifting off the pad. It was due to cap damage, but you couldn't see it (even under the scope). Only found it once I checked.

This process depends on how nice you want the restoration to be. Easy way is to just cut the melted tabs with.a razor blade, then you can use the above methods to remove the rust. Add a fine sandpaper to that list as another (once removed - hard to do while attached to the case). You can then...

You're very welcome. Glad I was able to help!

Not sure if your asking which parts are bridges, or if you need the part #'s of them? Pic shows the two bridges on the input side of the power supply. Part #'s are D3SB and S1WB.

Great work! Looking forward to trying this out on mine!

Agree with @croissantking. That's an agp sawtooth. If you're ever in doubt, you can search what type of model you have by looking up the serial #.

That's what I thought it was gonna be - it's being a tough! Hang in there.

Appreciate the heads up! I'd been kicking around the idea of just making one, but that looks like the way to go! Thanks! I don't know him personally, but had a chance to talk to him last year. He seems like a great guy. He's was very approachable and was super excited about what he was...

I can get you some pics of it, but I don't have a Duo disk cable, so I have no way to test it (as of yet). I've wanted to go through this and get it up and running for a while (too many projects). I have vcfsw coming up this weekend, but when I get back I'll get into it. I'll make sure to...

I approve this message.

Digging the fan bracket you made for the stock heatsink. Great idea! Fingers crossed on the tant being the issue.

I normally just pry them straight up (slowly) by applying pressure on both sides of the key. Once seperated, the key will want to move towards the stabilizer base. At that point you seperate the key from the stabilizer. Your working on a iigs keyboard, yes? I've cleaned / removed keys on a...

I resemble that remark. Though it makes life a lot more interesting! 😁 Cool purchase!

It could also be coming through the speaker too. You're going to have to take the top off and do some investigating. Has any service work been done to the machine, or is this a 'found in the wild'' plus?

Looks like I got my 8*24 just in time! Awesome work! Amazing after sale service! too! 😁

If the via has been bathed in acid for any amount of time, it's probably the only way to do it (please let me know if anyone knows a better way!) It's dang near impossible to get solder to flow once it's been acid damaged. On Simm sockets I've had good luck scraping the top 'affected' solder...

As do I. It seems like you have your answer. You can never have enough macs! 😁

Scary how our two collections look pretty much the same minus the se and duo (and an 8*24 which i realllly want to get from you l, but I've been good) Have you given yourself any criteria for thinning the herd? That usually helps me decide. Do I use it? Can I find another one as nice if I...
