| Mac Plus broken inductor on Analogue Board |
Posted by: tony359 on 2024-05-17 01:32:12
Hi all,
I'm restoring a Mac plus and while inspecting the analogue board I found the below inductance with a broken core.
I'll test this unit once I've removed the RIFA and replaced some leaky caps, I am told the picture was a bit wobbly?
Question: do you think it definitely needs a replacement or it could work as is? And if a replacement is needed, is there a way to source a new one or it has to be one from a donor board?
Cheers! |

I've ordered a set of capacitors (a few are leaking) so I guess I'll clean and re-cap the board and see how the picture looks. Would gluing the inductor back have any effect?
And just to be honest with the community here, this is a paid service I am offering for someone. I'd rather mention this now so everything is clear. It's the first time I am offering such a service since I lost my 9-5 job. I don't mean to advertise anything here of course. |

Update for the records. I've glued the inductor back together, the analogue board works, the picture is there. If anything, it's a little trapezoidal. But haven't checked everything yet. |

And this is the video of the repair! Comments and feedback are very welcome as usual! The inductor seems to be ok!
I have a Colour Classic on the bench now, that's not as easy...

Watched the video, it was enjoyable. Looks like that inductor wasn't an issue, after all. |
