hey...middle of an art project, and I need some compact mac cases...between 5 to 20, and it does not matter if they are badly yellowed, etc...don't need the guts, just the case...if I have to remove the analog board, MB, floppy, picture tube, it's no problem...have stockpiled some tubes...

could be...sometimes, you'll come across a compact mac, with a fan that is literally choked with dust...eye ball yer fan, and see if it's the original squirrel cage fan, ( which is noisy ) or the later SE'S, WITH THE box fans. Also, floppy drives can make noize as well.. many early hard...

that's a real nice small laser printer...both the 300 and 320, are pretty good printers. Toner is still fairly easy to find here..in your part of the world, that might be a small problem. I believe the ram max on the 320, is 8MB...many were sold with just 2mb, and never upgraded. If you can...

some very interesting posts,concerning these adapters.. In any event, seems that many of us, are pushing the SE/30 far past it's operational mode...doing stuff that apple's engineers did not consider...The SE/30, is such a robust compact mac, no wonder close to 20 yrs after it's release...

how true...for a time, that windham hill stuff..was the rage...some of my friends, drove me crazy with that stuff...not that it was bad....but after a while, it seemed to drone on and on.. and yeah, Jobs was a huge fan of the label and it's artists..

Just came across a sealed box of claris works 2.1 for both 68k macs, and early power pc.. Myself, always like claris..up to 4.0 better than MS word....but Word 5.1, was pretty darn good, despite being from microScum...oops, soft... also, found a global village modem, still in it's box...

If my some small chance, a camera is left...would be interested...but at that price...no doubt, gonesville..

great score.....yeah, the Q 800, was a great mac...'member reading in mac world,around the time of it's release, how it performed ' faster' on many chores than the flagship Quadra 950..which costed thousands more.. of course, the 950, had far more upgrade paths and potential....but the 800...

yes, I concur...but it does sound like the neck was cracked, if so, then the CRT is toast....they are very fragile around that area. a few yrs ago, I was working on a friend's SE, and accidently bumped that neck, and heard the HISS of death...... lucky, I had a couple of very nice, and...

aww, the hiss of death...heard it, a few times, over the last several years.. not that hard to replace the CRT....too bad, you're not near by, I have a bunch of good used tubes, with nary a burn-in.. on some compact macs, they were cursed with severe screen ins before the era of after dark. ...

shame that the 6500 series was capped at a measley 128mb... where one could load up their 9500-9600 macs... thxs for the info..

I was wondering about the 6500...I have a 225 mhz running 7.6.1 the ram I believe is 60 ns edo dimms... My 9500, is ready to be pulled from service, and Either fixed and upgraded or I'm considering tweaking my 6500 and replacing the 9500 with it. The 9500 has similar dimms ram...either 60...

been there and done that....heck, hard to believe, some years ago, the ram most of us have collected, etc was worth a small fortune.. when ram prices was outta this world......

Great to hear that your latest trek, wasn't as bombastic as the initial dealings...that way, you'll be able to recoup yer initial purchases.. By the way, Would be interested in the CC, and some of those cd's, like 7.6.1 for the 6500, mac os 8 sometimes dealing with these guys, is like pulling...

GREED is a funny thing.....recyclers think there's 'gold' in their vast piles of older machines..and looking to get lobster prices....and Buyers think they can RE COUP their unwielding purchases by marking up ..each item..and hoping someone BITES down for a deal... on the flip, some buyers over...

sometimes, third party cd players, can cost you your sanity.. try re installing the driver.....etc do you have a apple external cd player ? [8] [8]

Yeah, If I remember correctly, the 'PLUS' upgrade included a rear case..that accpted scsi etc..and read Mac Plus (etc) I don't remember if apple also replaced the front case..where the original 128/512 simply had the apple and the plus had the little apple (that pops out with a paper clip )...

Me three ! :beige: woof !

yellowed as sin, I didn't know that sin was yellow ! ' once you try yellow, you'll go mellow '] -----Dr. Fabian J. Fate

The 128k KB, is a little smaller than the Plus KB.... Mine wasn't too terribly yellowed...and it cleaned up..ok, for it's age. I did pull off all the keys, cleaned 'em and the KB..and put 'em back on, and it works just fine... Tearing down a 128k, and cleaning the heck outta..I'm amazed how...
