| 2 Compact Macs (SCORE!) |
Posted by: Dennis Nedry on 2008-08-07 11:16:10
I just had a Platinum Mac Plus and a Mac SE w/ 20 MB hard drive and Radius accelerator dropped off for free! The HD "sounds" like a Miniscribe but I'll have to open it up to be sure.
The Plus has no raster at the moment but we'll see what we can do about that.

Congratulations! Love those li'l guys...
The "no raster" problem is extremely common with these compacts. Most of the time, it's a cheap and simple fix (bad solder joint or blown cap). For more details, see http://68kmla.org/files/classicmac2.pdf

BAD SOLDER JOINT
I just used a piece of cardboard to press on the J3 connector and the screen lit right up! Wow. I heated up each pin on the connector, added a tiny little bit more solder, and it's as good as new.

Another one saved from the landfill -- well done!
