Nice CC. What's involved in a full resto on one of these? What's been done?

I really want that boxed System 7!!

I really want that boxed System 7!!

I want them all!!!
Actually, I have OS 9, and I used to have 8.5 as well, but it got lost years ago during a big move.

Anyway, nice job!

The Color Classic was extremely dirty when I got it. So I applied some baking soda, windex and soap and cleaned the entire computer shell inside and out. Then after I polished it up with some car interior polish. I then pulled a motherboard from an LC 550 and put that inside, originally I had the 575 motherboard, but wanted to keep this more true to the CC II specs. I also added a new hard drive for more storage, and bumped the ram and vram. Then added the CD-Drive, speakers and keyboard. I also have a quadra 605 and IIsi in the works and will post pics of that soon.

I also found all the operating systems while hunting on eBay except for the Jaguar one which I purchased when it was originally released back in the day, I also have the 7.6 cd just not boxed.

I've been keeping an aye out on ebay for a boxed System 7 but no luck yet.

I like the Apple floppy disc pack too! I have one but it's bent/squished so I'm trying to flatten it out under some heavy books

Let me guess - you bought the 5 pack from eBay with no padding?

 

[macman142]

Me? Nope... Was squished in the bottom of a box from Howards...
