Per the subject, does anyone have any recommendations? Rubbing SuperLube grease on the exterior doesn't do much. Is there maybe a way to slide the pieces off and get to the metal rail? Unless SuperLube oil is an alternative, that may seep in there.

Welp, my Powerbook 160 seems to be a prime example of Murphy's Law. Long story short, the flex cable for the top head of the drive has snapped. I just wanna check if there's possibly some magical way to remedy this before getting a whole new drive. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I was cleaning a floppy drive when I seemingly bent a spring out of place. Could anyone measure the spring (its position is marked in red) so I can find a McMaster replacement? Thanks!

Per the title, I have a 160 that I'm restoring. Is there a way to pull off the keycaps so as to clean under them? Just checking so I don't potentially break something. Thanks!

Nothing new here, my brightness pot has rusted away and the metal parts have disintegrated. There's a post from 2021 regarding this, but maybe something's changed in the last five years? Any help? Thanks!

Heyo! As per usual, I got an SE/30, the battery has leaked and rusted everywhere. Any expert opinions on saving the board, getting a recreation board, reusing the chips, etc? Thanks!

Per the title, I’m looking for Part II of the manual: Guide to Apple //e, //plus, and //. Part 1 can be found easily online, but part 2 has stumped me.

Heyo, Per the subject, my Apple IIe won't turn on, and there's a buzzing noise coming from the transistor. Originally, the transistor was making a clicking noise, and the power led would blink on and off, but now its gotten faster and the led doesn't turn on at all. I've read a few posts about...

Hello, I was cleaning a burst RIFA in my Apple II psu and I happened to spin this potentiometer. Just curious what its purpose is and if I made a mistake that can be fixed. Thanks!

Heyo, A while ago I had this grand idea to send my Plus out to Cali to have it fixed, long story short it came back with a cracked and mangled outer case. No I have just the guys sitting on a table. So, instead of buying a replacement case, would there be some possibility of making a new...

Heyo, I’ve been trying to use my Apple iie as a dumb terminal by following this helpful guide on reddit () However, it just doesn’t work for me. After the last step to type in the exec::: command, the cursor just blinks and Terminal on my MacBook is unresponsive. I’m using Proterm on my Mac and...

Heyo, With the release of Prince of Persia’s Apple II source code nearly a decade ago, has anyone tried to optimize it, enhance it, etc? Just curious.

Heyo, I’m aware this may has been posted elsewhere, but I’m not sure how to describe the problem. Upon receiving my Apple IIe (Rev B), I ran Applecillin II and the Apple II Plus dealer service program, and they both seem to have errors regarding ROM F0 and F8. I assume I have to replace these...

Heyo, Per the subject, I’ve run into an issue using both drive peripherals. I recently bought an Apple IIe and I have my floppy emu with APTEST to check the duodrive, but it seems the duodrive and the floppy emu share the same floppy port. Is there any way around this? Unfortunately, my emu is...

Would something like this be possible? Given the recent leak of Doom's (supposed) Mac source code, and the massive amounts of Doom ports and optimizations, I was curious as to whether this could be done (or reasons as to why it couldn't)...

Hello, Per the subject, is there anywhere to find ink cartridges for the original StyleWriter?

Once again I find myself with a problem I can't seem to diagnose. Not only is my Mac Plus showing this pixelated line, but its giving an error I can't find anywhere online. Other than that, there's a buzzing noise coming from somewhere near the speaker of the Mac. Ignore it being upside down...

Hi! So I recently acquired an Apple Powercd, but it only turned on and didn't spin or register the cd I put into it. So I decided to take it apart and see if something was wrong with the motor. After putting it back together the player still turns on, but now the cd laser won't move and the cd...

Whenever I turn my Macintosh Plus on, the floppy drive constantly whirrs. This was after I used a Q-tip and isopropyl to clean the heads and some dust in the slot.

Whenever I try to open certain .dsk files on the floppyemu, my Macintosh Plus says that the floppy has to be formatted and gives me the option of eject, one sided, or double sided. I can’t seem to fix this problem or find it anywhere online.
