Looking good. Glad the plastics seemed to be more forgiving on this one than on those Performas! I also totally dig the backrooms/liminal spaces vibe of your shooting area there. Lol
YES! The plastics were totally fine. Must've been the final year before things went downhill... And thank you! I get two steel tables and sometimes a chair. I only exist in Industrial Block C, Building 7, Room 14A. But don't tell anyone ;)
The Color Classic was the first Apple computer I owned. It got me through my senior year at Univeristy - but barely. I could not run Statistics applications 😞. The Summer after graduation the mother board failed for the second time and I asked Apple that instead of repairing it again I wanted to exercise the 'replacement' part of the warranty. The agreed and gave me a new LC475. Wish I still owned that work of art known as the Color Classic.
I guess you needed an FPU for the stats programs? Thanks for sharing that story! I went through something similar with the first Studio Display... took me 24 years to find another first gen...
Thanks ID! Not doing 475 or 575... and not that it's a HUGE surprise, but you'll have to wait for the episode to find out what niche board I go with :)
You have a real money pot there coming from that Color Classic but I know we both wouldn’t dare sell something as precious as that. Junior Mac Collector here. PS: you have to have an ADB keyboard plugged in to get a power on.
10% better is my kind of better! Very cool channel. You've got a shooting and editing style that is really distinctive and feels like a breath of fresh air from a lot of channels in the same sorta genre. Great video description as well. Idk, just really enjoy the whole vibe. 641 subs. Came here from the algorithm via one of Adrian's videos. Hopefully that means it's picking you up and you'll get some more exposure.
Nice machine…I actually just finished the dual speaker mod on my Mystic…freaking love the CC it’s my go to for most things vintage Mac. Oh yeah I got lucky and have a Performa 275 on its way to me right now. I can’t wait to clean and restore it and not Mod it.
Nice! Yeah, it's so compact, has a great little screen, and the plastic isn't too brittle.. lots to love! Congrats on the 275! Great machine to keep stock. I got a CCII in great condition for a reasonable price within North America.. but the shipping still messed it up. It was packaged OK, but not to a well thought-through level :( I *really* hope your seller packed it well!! Fingers crossed for you!
Thanks for the video. For me one of the most beautiful Macs ever, but it was never desirable from a performance perspective. So cute! 🤗 Regarding the audio (and maybe SCSI?) issue: I think Adrian Black once fixed a Mac audio issue by making sure the shielding was properly in contact with the motherboards ground plane, because the shielding is an integral part of the ground plane in some older Macintosh computers. Without proper contact with shielding, some parts of the PCB had no ground connection, i.e. don't work.
Agreed about the design & performance :) I watched Adrian's video a while back, so thankfully remembered the grounding issue. If the issue persists after a board swap, I'll double check the ground with a meter... but I reflowed those solder points and the contacts looked like they were touching the shielding... so there are a couple "lower hanging fruits" to tackle first
It's a combination... some of it was personally hoarded (I mean "preserved") by me since new, some was given to me by friends/family (who wants a dead old computer taking up space?), and a lot came from Facebook Marketplace where prices can be more reasonable than eBay

Hey you did a color classic! Amazing work btw, rlly hope it’s up for a mystic upgrade!
@@retrodude6215 Thanks! And we'll just have to see... :)
@@iiidiy Yeah, I got btw a rare blue and white g3 450 scsi edition for 50 euros off of a closing store, so I guess we’re both lucky
@@retrodude6215 congrats, nice find!

You've done an amazing job! The colour classic is such a cool Mac. Will you be installing an LC 475 board?

@@iiidiy Can’t wait!

Yes, the Color Classic can only be turned on via soft power-on! I have the cable routed down below the table surface for a clean shot :)
Great Video Sir
Thanks!

Thank you, that's all very kind of you to say! I'm a big fan of Adrian, so the algorithm must know my people :)
The color classic was a brilliant machine, even if it was severely underpowered

Thank you!
Beau boulot ! Il ne reste plus qu’à trouver une solution pour le son au démarrage 🙂👍
mystic plans i bet :)
That's certainly the *reasonable* bet... but...
@@iiidiy 👀
Where do you find this retro tech?
It's a combination... some of it was personally hoarded (I mean "preserved") by me since new, some was given to me by friends/family (who wants a dead old computer taking up space?), and a lot came from Facebook Marketplace where prices can be more reasonable than eBay
@@iiidiy damn, here finding some is just impossible by itself, let alone at a decent price
how does this channel have 571 subscribers..?
im the 571st :p love content like this
Welcome to the cool kids club! Tell all your friends :)
A mystic upgrade I assume?
That's a good assumption... but I have more niche plans :)
yes? video is here. skippingf
