Great video but PLEASE discharge the Anode cap with a flathead screwdriver connected to ground (or the metallic shield, preferably both). The shocks these CRT's can give are nasty, it's definitely worth the hassle 😃
With a single touch, it will give you an instant punk hairdo! What a time saver! Don't pay any attention to the smoke and sizzling skin, it's a minor side effect, nothing to worry about. (
Great job! We had one of these in my school back in the days as well. It was one of the first computers in the school. This one and an some newer Mac model were donated by a parent that worked as a doctor. He had the money our school didn't hold at this time. They didn't see much real use, we mostly used them for some basic games but it was a good introduction to computers for most of us.
I loved this video. The Mac Classic (4/40) was my first computer when I was in high school. Major geek points for the raSCSI hack. I will say, though, that OS 6.0.8 worked much better than 7 on the Classic.
Need a Macintosh Lisa? It powers on, but needs either a hard drive, or just a boot loader/OS. I used it way back in the 90's, maintained and ran it at least once a year until 2014 when i moved the drive platen during cleaning (axis protrudes the case), and it never booted up again since, but it sure wants to.

Awesome! I would recommend getting some of that conformal coating spray and coating the boards and whatnot to prevent corrosion in the future...it will live inside now but still would be a good idea for longevity! Great going on the restoration! Keep em coming!!!!
Great video and restoration work. Another vintage Mac restored and saved! My only suggestion would be to normalize the audio throughout your video. I had to turn up the sound level to hear your narration, but then I was blasted by the music, which was at least 3x the volume of your voice.
Hey, thanks for the great vid, going to work on a Mac Classic very soon, I'm just building the parts list. Where do you get the caps from? do you get them in a set or just buy individually for the project? Thanks heaps
There are some eBay sellers that sell premade kits. However it’s usually cheaper to manually check all your capacitors and order them individually from a site like digikey. I do have plans to offer some capacitor kits on JuicyCrumb.com in the future though :)
What would be real dope, is if some took an old Macintosh like this and put the guts of an iPod Pro inside it, updated the screen, and maybe made an app you could click on and run classic macOS for the nostalgia.
hey if i end up getting a Mac classic and need it restored can i send it down your way? Sorry to hear about the floods. I was in the same boat in 2019 up in NQLD.. Thank god for insurance. 🙂
UV lights are good and all but dont you have plenty of sunlight in Australia? I know in winter months it can get a bit dull if that was the case. Great video though.
Yeah when this was filmed it was late winter/early spring in one of the wettest seasons of Australia’s history hahaha . Personally I found the LED’s more consistent and able to get better coverage of the entire part, so I’d recommend them either way
@@Pendleton115 yeah, especially with such an oblique angle the sun is during an Australian winter, early spring it can yield some less than optimal results for it, as well as normal boring tasks like hanging clothes to dry on the line lol.
Is a Mac Classic still useful in 2024? Can it access high speed internet, print to modern laser printer or color photo printers, can it handle USB devices? A serious question.
Hey Pendleton 115, was wondering in your video for the first version of the Bluetooth iPod what did you use to mount the Bluetooth board to the metal plate. I can see two small with things underneath but I have no idea what they are.
With the RaSCSI, do you run into any problems when shutting down the machine from the OS where the image becomes corrupted? I usually have to power down the PI first through the web interface so it can dump the cache or else I risk corrupting the disk image for the HDD.

A friend lost a finger nerve opening a crt monitor. He now has a dangling finger and it is really sad.

And they linger for a good bit afterwards. Really nasty!
Yes yes yes… this is what I wanted to say too. We used to have a special cable with a pokey part to get under the suction cup.
Now that is a labor of love. Beautiful work. The RaSCSI is a cool piece of kit!
I always thought it would be cool to put new up to date everything inside one of these fit a flat screen to it.

It's really nice seeing someone who has similar interests to me. Love your channel now that I found it!
That RP mod was super cool. Might do that myself with my Mac Classic II
Awesome. You put in so much work. I had one of these back in the 90s. A classic II. Great machine for its time.
I can't believe how incredibly cool this is, thanks for the great video.
Job well done! Hope things settle down for you.
Thank you for this instructive and illustrative film. Great job! Please continue ✌🏻!

OS 7 runs awful, but I really wanted to browse the web and this was only feasibly possible on OS 7 :)
Oh my great video ... amazily astounding.

Hey mate I am definitely interested in this and it would make a fantastic video.
Do you mind dropping me a line on Twitter or via eMail? Cheers!

Great going on the restoration!
Keep em coming!!!!
I actually did use some “PCB Spray” to add a new protective layer to the areas I worked on.
I must’ve forgotten to mention that in the video! 😅
You got lucky. Mine had the battery explode, and it destroyed the irreplaceable RTC chip.
Really great restoration! I sold an Apple Plus on eBay for £38 recently.. now I know what they use them for :D
Amazing job!
It's funny, you sometimes have the same voice as Alec from Technology Connections
The patience and craftsmanship in this video 👌🏽
You use your fancy soldering iron to recap the logic board, but you're cheap iron to solder the SMDs on SCSI board. 😂
Keen eye! As much as I wish I owned a JBC of my own, I don’t think my workplace would approve if I stole theirs 🤣
Good job
Crazy how an 80s computer is about as powerful as a modern calculator lol
You have those soldering tweezers. You could have easily used those to remove the SMD caps instead of ripping them off.
He doesn't own them and landed them
Fantastico 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Careful with the neck board - my Classic's CRT was killed due to the neck board getting knocked.

not saved, will fail again
This is awesome great work ✌️❤️
"Isopropyl alcohol makes quick work of this"
**Proceeds to take a long time**
Quicker than doing it without!
6:15 I'm terrified, use flux and solder with solder braid :D where is Louis Rossmann? :D
What does flux do?
Nice work! But why use the LED's when you've got a Sun?
Is no one gonna mention the grapes?

@@Pendleton115 awesome thanks a lot, appreciate the advice
Is it possible to fit a modern computer in that thing
suggest not removing the cap like this; high risk to get pad lifted
Hi - I really enjoyed this and I hope you do many more retro restoration videos just like it!! Thanks
What would be real dope, is if some took an old Macintosh like this and put the guts of an iPod Pro inside it, updated the screen, and maybe made an app you could click on and run classic macOS for the nostalgia.
Did you give the rest of the logic board a soak and scrub in IPA? I see a bunch more dried cap juice on the IC legs.
Gave it a bath in baking soda and vinegar to clean the corrosion but didn’t document it for the video

good
Are you able to advise what size the caps were you replaced please
Hey Pendleton 115, was wondering in your video for the first version of the Bluetooth iPod what did you use to mount the Bluetooth board to the metal plate. I can see two small with things underneath but I have no idea what they are.
You can use double sided foam tape that's been cut to size.
@@Pendleton115 alright thank you btw how thick should it be.
Mine works Great except for it keeps typing 'P' on the Desktop hard drive title It does this without the keyboard plugged in. I can't figure it out.
With the RaSCSI, do you run into any problems when shutting down the machine from the OS where the image becomes corrupted? I usually have to power down the PI first through the web interface so it can dump the cache or else I risk corrupting the disk image for the HDD.
Don't put CRT on the tube! I don't have experience with Macs but those glass tubes are fragile in general, so be careful handling them.
Lovely work! What game is at 21:31? Thank you
Prince of Persia!
@@Pendleton115 Thank you
you should put a colour crt in it
I’ve been attempting to source an Amber CRT for some time now. They are as rare as hens teeth!
Great video, but ripping the caps off like that really hurts to watch….Desoldering them definitely avoids removing the pads incidentally.
We used the machines in my high school for the same reasons. Any chance they came from Texas? LOL
Sydney Australia. But close I guess 😂
Not discharging the CRT. Attacking the caps with tin snips. Jesus Christ dude. Couldn't watch any further.
K lol
Do you answer your Twitter DMs?
montage music was crazy loud compared to the rest...
OMG !!! ***NEVER*** rip caps off the mobo with snips or pliers !!!! Desolder them !!!!!
great video! horrible music choice
DISLIKE FROM SOYJAK
if it does not run windows 11 pro its STILL TRASH !
Okay…
Why bother? Macs have always been crap.
Well the apple 2 was ok
Treasure..would be if it was running windows 11 !! now is a piece of junk and a video ONLY FOR DISLIKE !
