Nice! At least now its good to go! I do have one nitpicky thing, the raster is set too big and needs reduced back to its original size, but thats only because I dont want to put more stress on the analog board than it already has.
@@BigBadBench It's funny how I can be fairly tech-adjacent for *decades* and only find this out now. I thought the smaller raster was just for 1:1 desktop publishing! So, I've always stretched my CRT images to fill the glass as much as possible. Analog board stress makes perfect sense... just never occurred to me! :)
As always a pleasure to watch your hard work, and I'm glad it was you replacing all those pesky capacitors and not me. I've just purchased a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ and although my benchmarks show it's only half the speed of the Raspberry Pi 4 B it's still better than a smoke-tarred Apple Macintosh. I'm glad your friend is still alive b.t.w., a lung-cancer survivor......!
Thanks! Most appliances are faster than a 8 MHz 68000 these days :) But it looks pretty darn great! I'm sorry to report that the original owner did pass away. They were a friend of my parents, and a lifetime of unhealthy choices caught up to them a few years ago. Now the Classic has been restored and given to a friend of mine who has nostalgia for this era, and is getting his young kids interested too :)
One can only hope that in 2054 some worthy owner of this mac can also recap it and keep it alive for another 30 years so they can pass it on to another worthy owner, and so on until the end of the human race. Steve would like that.
Thanks :) Paint is really tricky, and really depends on a lot of factors -- what kind of paint, how much, is the plastic textured, can it be fully disassembled, etc.. Very happy to help you out, but YT comments might be a bit inefficient. I only sometimes get notifications. I'm on Mastodon and Discord if you want to shoot me a message there - happy to give you whatever advise I've got!
What was that little program that you ran it looked like a video but very slow or small graphics or a game or something what was the name of that? Is it available somewhere?

That Glider game took me right back to my primary school memories! Bravo!
Awesome restoration!
I really enjoyed the process of re-capping the analog board on my Mac Plus. Love your videos and the time it must take you to edit them so well!

Thanks - appreciate the nitpicks, because they teach me things! :)

Your videos are just so darn good. Even the absolute worst compact Mac is a compelling watch when you shoot it!
That was the nicest bashing of a Classic you've done yet! Thank you! :)
Nice Mac video!😊
Nicely done 👍 sometimes, we need « time » for find solution ! Happy for you 🙂
I love your channel, always bringing awesome videos and top quality content with it! Keep going strong! hugs from Brazil ^^
Thank you so much!

Woah what is that fiberglass pen thing and where do you find it??? I need one of those stat!
Yes! Much quicker! RUclips doesn't like links, so I sent you a DM on Mastodon
I have two of these

I find it so satisfying when you put the fresh solder over the bare copper! Btw how does the BlueSCSI V2 perform over the V1?
I came in late to the flash-SCSI game... I have only ever used BlueSCSI v2, so honestly couldn't tell you, sorry
D'oh! :D
give it 128kb of memory
Brilliant & entertaining video as always :^)
Off-topic question, how would u suggest removing drops of paint off a plastic CRT case?
Thanks :)

@@iiidiy Apologies I have been busy, I appreciate you reaching out to my comment!
Thanks a million.
Working on vintage computers can be a lot, don’t be too hard on yourself for forgetting the analog board

At 11:39 it was the game "Star Wars" and then at 12:01 it was the game "Glider". I think that both are available on the MacintoshGarden website
