    My soldering skills are not "professional", but I get by. If I were to recommend two things... Good tweezers and buying a hot air rework station (350 degrees Celsius) would have helped me with removing and resoldering those tiny resistors (size of a grain of sand!). :ROFLMAO: You don't want...

    https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CP784HF1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Just an FYI...I had to wet sand the bottom of the heatsink "flatter", since it wasn't totally flush/level when it arrived, what do you expect for $5 Plus, I bought this roll of thermal tape, got lots left! LOL -...

    The project thus far is nearly done. All I have left is to clean and lube the floppy drive, and replace the caps in the power supply unit. CPU Note: The heatsink on the 33mhz CPU gets pretty warm, but not crazy hot of anything. It's a full 68040 and it's native 33mhz. Not overclocked.

    LC 475 RAM weirdness - OS 7.5.5

    I want to preface by saying that my general Classic Mac knowledge is relatively limited. This mac - https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/lc-475-project-upgrades-mods.47687/ With me upgrading my mac to now having 64MB (+4MB on board) instead of the 16MB stick that was there before there, I...

    So, the floppy drive in this machine works, but the action of the disks going in and out is rough (The drive mechanism is a dirty/gummy). Basically it needs a good cleaning. Are there any good disassembly videos or web pages that you guys could recommend? My initial google search came up with...

    I had a look at the PCB, I'm sure it's doable. lol The PCB is pretty small...would need a surgical soldering station!
