| Damaged classic mac to pokedex |
Posted by: rockycruz123 on 2026-01-07 16:38:53
Ive purchased a macintosh class II and it was damaged in shipping ( not surprised). Im using hypercard to make a "pokedex" of the original 151 pokemon and planned to turn the mac classic into a macindex macintosh-pokedex as the computer was already cosmeticly flawed with cracks and chips of plastic missing but nothing was structural
But now i think the damage is to severe , i would like some input. Attached are pictures of the damage and a concept of the macindex. |

Fun! Since the original case is already a wash, why not dress it up with a theme? Run it with At Ease so Hypercard can be in kiosk mode, and you've got a fun little piece to take to conferences 🙂 |

there is so many battery bombed boards around, easy to find a good case if you are looking for one... |

Is anything inside the machine damaged or just the case? The case can be repaired |

Is anything inside the machine damaged or just the case? The case can be repaired Im unsure of the condition of the inside , im at work and wont be able to inspect for some time, but i did some research (the kinda info i was hoping this post would provide) and i think im going to us a sandable plastic gap filler to try to fix the cracks chips and stright up missing parts of the plastic. |

May I suggest checking the internal components before you go to the effort of attempting a case repair? If the CRT is damaged, or the logicboard is battery bombed, then the rest of it may not be worth saving. |

Yes of course, honestly thought that would go without saying , i mean i have to open it to do repair on the case anyway. But like i said not home and wont be for 2 weeks so cant take a look until i return , just wanted to have everything for the project and look for insight from anyone whos done plastic repair to this extent. |
