i love how simple these systems are today but how complex and revolutionary they were back when they first came out.

@masterkitty 10 месяцев назад

Be aware- theres a battery on the motherboard that can, and eventually will explode and destroy the computer. Remove it! It's keeping the date and time only and likely is already dead.

Nice video! Just a heads up, compact Macs like this Mac SE originally shipped with the picture adjusted how it was when you first powered it on. If you take a look at the service manual, you’ll find that the picture adjustment section instructs the repair tech to adjust the screen to be 7 inches wide by 4.7 inches high. Keep up the great content, it’s always nice seeing younger people get into retro tech.

Nice video. BTW, the reason that the video output doesn't take up the whole screen out of the box is because it was so that art would present at 1:1 in design apps. If you ever want to set it back there are official measurements in old Macintosh repair guides.

Dude you should hunt down an old iMac G3, you'd love working on those, so fun and slightly upgradeable/overclockable. You can even run BSD on them! Always wanted an SE and its real sweet to see this one getting fixed up.

@RATsnak3 6 месяцев назад

I would go in and re do that soldering properly... but dang I really need to find me one of these. You would think it would be easier considering I live within a couple miles of Apple's headquarters, but no. Too many nerds around here. They're like vultures.

@choppergirl 10 месяцев назад

When you upgraded it with a 68030 card, 4mb of ram, Multifinder, and a 200-300mb Harddrive, and added a dial up modem, it was a sweet little machine. That's wild you paid 7. Back in the day it was 3,500. i have a ton of these in the barn. Laymen actually called the SE "somewhat expandable". You would finally leave it though in the end... for color. In my case, a Performa 476 68040 25mghz. If I had sold my Macintosh SE back then, and put the money in Apple stock instead, I would have 60 million today, instead of a 7 dollar Macintosh SE . Really makes you think.

@The_Conspiracy_Analyst 8 месяцев назад

2.7 million, your math is off.

@choppergirl 8 месяцев назад

@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst Well, I got various estimates between 20 and 60 million, depending on stock splits and when I hypotheically invested. Oddly, it wasn't that Macintosh took off, it was the iphone, ipod, and tablet sales... mostly the iphone... and around 2005. Back in the late 1990's, Apple had completely tanked, as well as the PC industry. I literally thought the computer revolution was over... desktop publishing had fizzled out, and most everyone was already bored with AOL dialup. Very few had cable or adsl modems, and the HTML frames internet before RU-vid and Web 2.0 and dating sites and pretty much played out and were swcking hardcore by then... I still have my original SE mobo with fried out ADB ports. I gave the upgraded 030 machine with 4mb of ram and a whole pirated copy of Software Etc on Floppy to my cousin in the late 90's. By then I had a AMD FX 300 mghz single core PC. Sad but true. Today rocking 16core 7950x with 128gb 3070gtx. It only took a lifetime for the industry to get to my dream PC.... starting from a 1mghz Vic-20

@elliottr6213 8 месяцев назад

If you plan on making that mint condition the first thing I would do is remove the battery on the logic board and replace the capacitors on all of the boards since they’re prone to leaking. That hard drive probably doesn’t have much life left either so a sd2scsi adapter is a good alternative.

@compufood 8 месяцев назад

That really isn’t necessary, the Mac SE (and compact Macs in general) isn’t known for having leaky capacitors. If the analog board is performing as expected, there’s no need to replace anything until a problem arises. “Shotgun replacing” capacitors is always inadvisable, especially if you aren’t confident in your soldering skills. Also, these 20 and 40MB SCSI drives are surprisingly reliable in my experience. A SCSI2SD is hardly necessary, it’s simply a convenient (albeit expensive) quality of life improvement.
