Splinder Plastic in Q950? In Need Of Cosmetic Surgery.
Posted by: Elfen on 2015-07-17 11:17:56 Along with my PM6500, I pulled out my Q950 out of storage. I lucked out, the battery did not explode. But first thing I noticed was that the logic board was not in place properly. In looking about, there were more broken plastic pieces in the case. Removing the board, and cleaning it up of the broken pieces, I got the logic board to fit in place properly. It is obvious that somebody was as its side door was open, and for a while something moved inside. That has to be cleaned up. I'll be using an alcohol/soap mixture and a scrub brush to clean out the inside of the case in the bathtub. But all these broken plastic pieces. I will need a couple of front bezels and figure out something for the support rail in the front of the machine by the drives, but remember, this thing fell out of a four story window when I got it. The case is cracked in several places, but it's still together. So what glue would be best to fix the broken parts inside? I'm also going to need a hard drive for it; I have it's original drive in the IIfx. How much do Q950 bezels go for on ebay? It does turn on and does Bong. Thank God! I just need to clean her up and give her some plastic surgery.
Posted by: Unknown_K on 2015-07-17 15:12:41 None of my 950's have brittle plastic (outside of those plastic latches that hold the door on, had one break). 950 blank bezels should be easy to find on ebay, the floppy one will be harder, and a CDROM bezel will be super hard to find.

Posted by: Elfen on 2015-07-17 19:07:32 Interesting link I found - 3D printing your own Q950 Bezel. See: CD Bezel here - http://modelrail.otenko.com/apple/quadra-950-case-issues-and-modifications It says it is 2mm off but if one can get the original file, that 2mm can be taken off and then 3D printed.
