    Apple 20SC SCSI HDD - Recap? Oil instructions?

    Thorough search for attempt to revive - seems like it's a good idea to oil the motor? Can lithium grease be used? Or should it be a machine oil? Exactly where should it be put and what needs to be rotated? Does the drive need recapping? Have circled the obvious ones with excellent mspaint -...

    Neglected Mac Classic w "video" dongle - open safely?

    Hi everyone Have had this Classic for 20+ years but haven't really looked at it since last boot in 2005 or so - forgot it existed. Sadly, the pic is from AFTER cleaning it with distilled water.

    eMac front panel retrobrite

    Have been using one of the "can boot to OS 9" eMacs as an early OSX machine, however the front panel is yellowed as anything. Not looking for a philosphical debate on the technique. I would like to restore the original look. More looking for whether it's possible on these double plastics. Has...

    SCSI HDs are all falling apart! IDE Replacement? (not Solid state)

    After completing a long-running refurbish of a Mac Classic, and installing a BlueSCSI, I realised that Solid State hard drive replacements can cause an empty feeling inside.

    PM 5400 / 5500 Damage? Compatibility?

    Hi all, Have been asked to look at a LB from a 5400 / 5500 - PN # 820-0952B. Looks like it was battery bombed at some point. Apart from some revealed traces, and dirt, it looks fine, BUT it looks like there are 2 resistors missing R143/R144 - can't find any images of whether that's the case on...

    Color Classic - lifted traces on Logic Board

    Moving onto a project that I've been dreading, a Color Classic LB with two lifted traces. Have added solder to each of the other capacitor pads. They are on C4 & C5, -ve legs. Looking closely, it almost seems as if I could scrape off substrate and attach some solder with flux to the little hole...

    Mac Classic: Swap analog board with Classic II

    'Evening all, On the right, I have an analog board from a carefully restored Classic in excellent condition. All of the capacitors were leaking. It has been fully recapped but doesn't work, and has been a bit of work to troubleshoot for a beginner. On the right, an analog board from a booting...
