Durosity’s conquests and collection
Posted by: joshc on 2024-09-29 12:00:37 Oh and also a binder full of CDs! I’m dead chuffed about this one as it was only £5 and the seller accidentally sent it to the wrong person, so I didn’t actually think i was going to get it, so I was very excited when it arrived!! View attachment 78869 View attachment 78870 View attachment 78871 Very neat, some of these might not have been imaged and uploaded online yet...
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-09-30 10:36:10 Very neat, some of these might not have been imaged and uploaded online yet... The seller said they had archived most of them, but I will check. I’m currently in the process of rebuilding my setup in my study at the moment.. when I built my desk (Ikea Galant) I didn’t quite have all the right pieces to make it all connect together correctly, and once I had the pieces it wasn’t possible to add them without dismantling the whole thing. I finally decided it was time so emptied out everything on the desks to the spare room including the wiring, dismantled the desks, fixed the frame so it was setup correctly.. now I need to decided what’s going to go back and where.

Posted by: Durosity on 2024-10-16 09:03:20 So.. this isn’t quite the win it suggests.. but:
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-10-16 09:07:55 So that AIO is not the one I was trying to fix before.. it came from another source! I’ve switched components with the other one to diagnose the problem and it seems to be the analogue board as when I put the old analogue board into this machine it doesn’t work, but I’m too terrified to try putting this one’s analogue board into that machine in case it damages it! I’ve compared as many components as I can’t find what’s causing the issue, so I’m filing that away under “something to look at another day”
Posted by: joshc on 2024-10-19 10:29:01 Nice one, an actual rare sight in the UK. I’ve seen photos of the AIO so many times yet still think they look dead weird.
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-10-19 11:08:56 Nice one, an actual rare sight in the UK. I’ve seen photos of the AIO so many times yet still think they look dead weird. They really do look weird. And I’d argue weirder in person! I’ve placed it next to my LC 520 and below my PowerBook 2400c to make a mini collection of weird looking Macs, which coincidentally we never got here!
Posted by: Snial on 2024-10-19 11:56:09 Nice one, an actual rare sight in the UK. I’ve seen photos of the AIO so many times yet still think they look dead weird. They look like they've always been photographed with a wide-angle lens!
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-10-21 13:55:37 Picked this up for 99p! Only the PowerPrint cable is missing, the MacLink pack is still sealed with cable, and the rest is still there too. View attachment IMG_9887.jpeg
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-11-14 02:40:30 Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet lately, my dad died a couple of weeks ago (and to anyone who knows the full story about that you’ll understand why it’s been particularly problematic to me) and generally life has just been a bit crappy. That said, I did pick up a new project yesterday so I’ll be posting some pics of that soon.

View attachment 79807 What is THAT ??? 🤩 Please, can you give me more details ?? Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet lately, my dad died a couple of weeks ago (and to anyone who knows the full story about that you’ll understand why it’s been particularly problematic to me) and generally life has just been a bit crappy. That said, I did pick up a new project yesterday so I’ll be posting some pics of that soon. Sorry. Please, receive my condolences. 😞
Posted by: Hopfenholz on 2024-11-17 11:52:15 Very sorry to hear about your father. Hopefully some classic Mac messing around will provide some therapy.
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-11-18 08:43:25 What is THAT ??? 🤩 Please, can you give me more details ?? Sorry. Please, receive my condolences. 😞 It’s a multipack of various PowerBook tools useful for power users back in the 90s.. like PC exchange and data converters and adapters to help print on DOS printers! And thank you Very sorry to hear about your father. Hopefully some classic Mac messing around will provide some therapy. Thank you. It’s been a bit of a rough time, slowly getting a bit better.
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-11-18 08:45:52 I picked up a fully boxed, working (mostly), TAM for £500. It’s a bit dirty due to the previous owners cigarette habit, and the cd drive doesn’t work (not surprising) but other than that it’s pretty good!
Posted by: joshc on 2024-11-18 09:25:41 I picked up a fully boxed, working (mostly), TAM for £500. How the hell did you pull that off? 😀
Posted by: Durosity on 2024-11-18 12:23:43 How the hell did you pull that off? 😀 Luck! 😅 I’m going to recap it and my other TAM at the same time.. that should be.. fun.
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2024-11-27 00:13:24 Luck! 😅 I’m going to recap it and my other TAM at the same time.. that should be.. fun. want to recap mine while you're at it, every time I look at the insides of mine I lose the will to live completely 😛
Posted by: joshc on 2024-11-27 00:45:25 want to recap mine while you're at it, every time I look at the insides of mine I lose the will to live completely 😛 maybe we can tackle yours next time i'm round?
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2024-11-27 01:52:31 maybe we can tackle yours next time i'm round? If you have the moral strength to assist, it would be appreciated.
