Macintosh SE/30 Triple Threat

Not following. Could just be a bad photo. Which monitor?
The SE/30’s built in screen. The size of the display is bigger than it should be. To be stock it needs adjustment. 7 in x 4.7 in is the size the screen image should occupy. This leaves noticeable black space above and below the image between it and the bezel. From your pics it looks like the screen is not this size.

Macintosh SE/30 - Restored/Recapped/2gb hdd fantastic computer! | eBay

Very clean and thoroughly tested. 131mb of ram. Board professionally recapped. Added very fast 2 gb HDD. Re-flowed solder on power board. Partial list of software below. Power board connectors were re-flowed and most important of all the logic board has been recapped for long life.

This photo right here. Hence the image looks stretched vertically because it’s taller than it should be.

Next time I open it up I will check the adjustments in the analog board. Food eyes and Thanks!

Aesthetically and electrically, this is in good shape (recapped, etc). I would love get it working.

Some damage in shipping:

You can see the break center picture. This apparently was holding the entire right side lid assembly together. The break is causing issues with the toner flap and timing on the manual feed. Epoxy fix maybe? I have been able to manually get it into a ready state, send print jobs, warmup, and what sounds like an attempt to feed from the MP tray. Laser Printers are not my thing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also working on cross compiling a custom NetBSD 7.2 kernel using 10.1/UTM on a 2017 iMac Pro. NetBSD does play nice with my Vimage card. Again, advice much appreciated 👍.
