LaPorta Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi everyone, You know those little black plastic rivet-type deals that hold on the Classic-series analog board outside white plastic sleeve? I want to know what they are and how to get some more for when I re-cap these things so I can re-attach the sleeve with the original fasteners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iesca Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I would like to know as well, my plus doesn't have them, rather its analogue board is held on with welded plastic, if I recall correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaPorta Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 That's interesting...every Plus I've seen uses the double sided foam tape. That I've found a replacement for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iesca Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Oh that's what it was, nevermind! Still, would be nice to have the fasteners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaPorta Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have a direct replacement for the foam if you need. I just need the rivets! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iesca Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Thank you! That being said, double-sided foam tape is comparatively easy to come by, though hardly as elegant! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethezombie Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 They are called nylon snap rivets. Google that term, and you'll find a ton of different sizes. I can't remember the exact size the compact Macs use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iesca Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Fabulous! Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What is the direct replacement you have found? I'm just using 3M double sided adhesive. Appears to work well and didn't test as conductive but if there is something purpose built for this I'd rather go that route. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaPorta Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GBNW6H4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title&th=1 This stuff is majorly adhesive like the original, takes solvent to get the glue off. It is 1” wide like the original, and is 1/8” thick to maintain the original depth. Same sponge type as was there. It’s as close to the original as I’ve found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Iesca Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 In searching around I found this document: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/apple/service/PN_072-0228_Apple_Service_Technical_Procedures_Macintosh_Family_Volume_One-Mar_1992.pdf On page 390 in the pdf, a table refers to the diagram on the previous page; item no. 2, part number 830-0270 "Rivet, Nylon Snap-In, Black" So that's what it was called internally anyway, maybe that will help! Nothing really comes up with a cursory google. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Iesca Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I just received these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10x-Macintosh-128k-512k-Plus-Classic-SE-analog-board-Fasteners-Pushpin/264047221390 They appear to be very similar to the ones mentioned by @gpbonneau above. The ones I bought (which ship from the Netherlands) worked great with my Plus, and you don't need to buy a hundred of them at once! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
