AFAIK there is no evidence to suggest that after retrobriting plastic yellows any faster. It may continue to yellow at the same rate as before, and the sunlight or heat that caused the yellowing can make the plastic brittle, but it I've found no evidence that it speeds up at all. I'd love to see a study on this in more depth, but sadly I've not found any. Thanks for doing something retro Mac Address team ♥️

Every Mac I've done is fine. Some plastics will continue to yellow, yes, but it's not the doom and gloom grenade Tanner lobbed (and then left. LOL).

@MarcWoolf-vu8qt 8 месяцев назад

Something that wasn't mentioned is that you need to be careful with CRT based monitors when working around them. They retain charge after the computer is switched off. My first job was as a Mac engineer and we used to have to discharge the screens before working on them. Also, the tiny hole to the right hand side of the floppy disk drive is a disk release. If you find a long pin and push it into the hole far enough it will release the disk. But there defo should be a warning about the CRT thing. Also they are vacuum tubes, if you break of the nipple on the end they can implode. rare to happen. But still worth being careful.

@popltree2 8 месяцев назад

I was an Apple Genius when some of the last CRTs were still serviceable (Education models) and we had to go through BOBSMEDS training.

@Mac84 8 месяцев назад

Happy to see the Mac up and running again! 👍 I've fixed dozens of similarly aged Apples, it's nice to see this one was able to be saved for future generations to come. Especially when the case is in pretty good shape. Just a small note, the image on the CRT is stretched quite a bit outside of the factory settings. There should be a solid thick border around the image on the display. That's why the image in the corners is cut off behind the plastic. Books like "Dead Mac Scrolls" give you measurements to help resolve this.

@egbront1506 8 месяцев назад

Watching you resting the front of the Mac directly onto a hard worktop was the first wince. The screen protrudes proud of the frame and you can see the Mac rocking a little as all the weight is placed on the cathode ray tube. You should have placed a thick towel or soft pad underneath the screen to spread the weight around and reduce pressure on the tube.

@grey5626 8 месяцев назад

I noticed the same error. I don't watch LMG content for accuracy though, they fail at that, especially when going with systems that are probably older than most of their staff. Linus Sebastian wasn't born until 1986. Alas, they seem to be ageists, so they're not exactly bringing on elders in their field to fact check them, at all.

@mattcintosh2 8 месяцев назад

I have a nice collection of Compact Macs myself, some I've even owned since the 90s. I do have a Mac 512k, a color classic with a LC520 board, and an original 128k manufactured in August 1984 if I remember right. Unfortunately, it has a sad Mac which seems to be from a bad RAM chip. Due to the soldered in chips, its a bit hard to troubleshoot. I might be able to try piggybacking chips until it shows a disk icon, and then replace that chip, but not 100% sure if that would actually work.

@artiem5262 8 месяцев назад

It's not allen, it's TORX. Those long-handled torx drivers were very hard to get (deliberately) and highly prized. The case spreaders were needed the first few times you opened a (production) case. Pre-production units didn't have as good an internal case coating and weren't assembled using a press! I was one of the folks that visited pre-announcement Macintosh developers to upgrade EPROMs, and carried one of these torx drivers with me.

@artiem5262 8 месяцев назад

@@mattcintosh2 A number of companies made 512k boards by "acquiring" and upgrading 128k boards. Easiest way was to cut out the old chips and use a vacuum assist solder sucker to remove the pins.

It was also the very first laptop with a trackpad! I got it to play with the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop to learn C++. This is not the color version of this laptop, that would be the 540. I just needed it for text so color wasn't so important. It kinda harkens back to the original Macintosh, except this one has 16 shades of gray instead of the simple binary black and white of the original screen.

I bought those gears (and a bunch of other stuff) from Retro ShopBox, and they were a great vendor to deal with. Their gears did work for me, although I am also in Australia, so it might not be worth it if there's a more local vendor that sells those gears. As for fixing vintage Macs, I did fix the drive in my Classic II, which basically also just needed cleaning and re-lubricating, besides the eject gear. I also recapped it, which was more of a preventative measure since it worked anyway. I also bought an SE/30 which "just works", but I did recap it and replaced the battery holder with a CR2032 holder, since there were signs of corrosion beginning from the dodgy old caps and battery. They probably could use a good scrubbing, but I was too impatient to get them back together after working on them, so perhaps that's a job for next time I get some time off work.

Adrian Black and 8bit were my inspirations to refurbish my dad's Tandy Coco 1 after he passed and an Apple IIGS that I always wanted. The coco was harder cause it's painted plastic and the color isn't 100% nailed down but I was satisfied with my first go.
