AllMacs IIsi recap
Posted by: Von on 2018-07-11 22:49:05
Hi All,

I had Ebay seller AllMacs recap both my IIsi board and one of my SE/30 boards. I have bee using the board in the WtM configuration for a few days without issue.  Prior to the recap I got this scary image on screen and decided it was time to get on with the recap...

Here is a shot of the board before the work:

And here is after:

And some shots of this work, "As you can see the trace on this pad was making no connection, due to corrosion . I fixed the damage with a new pad and reconnected it"

I'll report in on the SE/30 after I get a chance to use it this weekend.

Goodness, Why didn't you just recap it yourself? I've gotten problem boards that people have sent them and while they're not awful a little bit of attention to detail goes a long way. A lot of Apple boards are like that where the pad serves as a connection to two traces and this can make recaps problematic.

While I would love to have that skill, I do not and I am not up for practicing on my only board.

Is all Macs the one in Florida? Are you happy with the work overall? I have an SE/30, a IIsi, an LCII that need recapping. I don't have the equipment or the skill to do this so I'm looking for a source.

I was in the same boat...I'd love to be able to do this however I do not have the skills needed.

SO far so good on the IIsi. On my list this weekend is to check out the SE/30...I will post when it is up and runing.

It looks like my photo of my shipping box did not make it through the interwebs into this post...Allmacs is in SC.

They recapped my tester IIci and it works great.  Very quick turn time too as it was just under 3 weeks total.
