So I have this #C64 thought on hold, while researching this, I reminded myself of my other retro fascination, an Apple Macintosh SE/30 (1989-.

Well broke anyways, but maybe I'll find one free that I can learn restoration on... 😎

I don't know why, but I just love the old black and white monochrome or grayscale macos.

Hmmm. I’m going to need a smaller LCD screen. #maclock #mac #classic #se30 #retrocomputing

@ology Cuter when they can run After Dark, though (am waiting for mine to print a Classic) #3dprinting #classic #se30 #macintosh

I think I found my new #marchintosh computer!

Anyone with an SE/30 know if it’s normal for UG6, UG7, UI6, and UH7 to be warm during use?

They’re not overly hot, but it’s enough that I’m second guessing myself that something might be shorted.

So the last part of Adrian's SE/30 adventure is live

I recommend this if you want see a #retrocomputing #mystery resolved…

Rebuilding an SE/30 from new parts.

Unfortunately, even after a re-cap, I still get the simasimac pattern on power on. But the sound works now, enough for me to hear a sad Mac chime. Tomorrow is troubleshooting time!

Leaky caps removed board cleaned. Y’all I’m stoked how little damage there was from the electrolyte!

The SE/30 is new to my collection. Logic board is in REMARKABLE shape. No battery damage, and only a couple of leaky caps. It powered on to the simasimac pattern, but I’ve got replacement caps on the way for the logic and analog boards, and hopefully that’s enough to get it to boot!

They’re siblings!

Schade. Nur Streifen.
Kennt hier jemand jemanden, der so was wieder hinkriegen kann oder zumindest weiß, woran es liegen könnte? Vorzugsweise im Raum Hamburg.

While waiting for parts for the #SE30 , I couldn't resist playing around with @maczydeco 's Mini vMac for iOS.

With some changes to the code, each virtual Mac Plus pixel is super crisp, which makes it almost feel like the real thing (I know, I know, blasphemy!)

Seems like I'm now at number 12 on that page, but adjusting the cutoff brightness doesn't help, so I guess I'm gonna have check some more resistors on the analog board 😓

Not knowing much about electronics + reading all the warnings about the high voltage stuff is kind of nerve-racking, so I'll take it slowly.

It's #marchintosh2024 , so time to pick up where I left with the #SE30 last year.

Following instructions from https://bylenga.ddns.net/SE30%20repair.html#BlackOut , I replaced some diodes and a resistor on the analog board, and I got a bit further: no more black screen, but some glorious strange patterns. At least the CRT seems to work!

UGH the via tests OK for continuity. It's the D29 data line. Maybe something's leaving it floating and touching it gives it a nudge. UGHHHHH. Hooray for schematics I suppose 😐
