Vintage lot (of work)
Posted by: Pushpull76 on 2023-04-29 02:29:37 Bought here in Italy the last week. Checking if they are working, at this point I can't say if it's a win or not 🙂
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2023-04-29 02:30:55 Well, I hope you like washing cases...
Posted by: Phipli on 2023-04-29 02:33:39 Time to bulk buy windolene. Looks like a nice haul though 🙂
Posted by: Pushpull76 on 2023-04-29 02:41:20 Well, I hope you like washing cases... Time to bulk buy windolene. Looks like a nice haul though 🙂 Just trying to understand if it's better to clean them one by one or take a shower this afternoon with all of them 🛀
Posted by: joshc on 2023-04-29 02:44:22 Clearly a pressure washer is the only way. 😉
Posted by: mg.man on 2023-04-29 03:00:36 What's amazing - apart from finding all that vintage beige - is the relative lack of mustard-ness!! Well done!
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2023-04-29 03:03:56 Just trying to understand if it's better to clean them one by one or take a shower this afternoon with all of them 🛀 I always take my favourite computers in the bath with me. Totally normal thing to do.
Posted by: Pushpull76 on 2023-04-29 03:13:02 I always take my favourite computers in the bath with me. Totally normal thing to do. I agree, I see dirty vintage macs like dogs in the mud, all together in the showerrrrr 🛀 🐶🖥️

Posted by: cheesestraws on 2023-04-29 03:20:09 I'm enjoying this thread. Thankyou :-D
Posted by: Phipli on 2023-04-29 03:24:35 I'm enjoying this thread. Thankyou :-D Why do I feel like this is going to deteriorate into NSFW pictures of a curvaceous ColourClassic case lathered in soapy water?

Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2023-04-29 09:16:22 I do hope that the insides aren't rusted.
Posted by: Pushpull76 on 2023-04-29 16:11:06 I do hope that the insides aren't rusted. Not rusted, some are not starting but fortunately no exploded batteries.

Posted by: Phipli on 2023-04-30 03:02:52 Windolene? I'm guessing that's some sort of British equivalent to Windex? c I have to respond with : Whats Windex? Is it some sort of US equivalent of Windolene? I suspect that question can only be properly answered by someone who has lived both sides of the pond.
Posted by: mg.man on 2023-04-30 06:36:35 Is it some sort of US equivalent of Windolene? Yep - and you can get it here if you want - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142287195612
Posted by: Pushpull76 on 2023-04-30 07:26:25 Glass cleaner, basically, I have a product which i already use for my scooter engines, it's famous because it is an high power degreaser https://www.amazon.it/Chante-Clair-Sgrassatore-Universale-Superpotente/dp/B00C0SJSFI ; I have to test it, because it's really agressive, especially with hot water. EDIT: If someone wanna do some testing, use it on a small portion of surface to clean. I already thrown in the bin a couple of carburetors....

Posted by: joshc on 2023-04-30 10:16:26 I like 'The Pink stuff' for cleaning Mac cases. Not sure if it's available outside of the UK but it works great.
