Yesterday's find! Finally got back another SE/30! I had sold my last one in 2008 and kicked myself ever since. Time to load up Flight Simulator 4!3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
2020 has been a horrible year for nearly everything with COVID, fires, economy and now just found out Eddie Van Halen died. I wish I could time travel to 1985 and forget this all happened.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Not bad for the low price of FREE! Now I have two of these bad boys in a sweet dual screen setup for my MDD G4!3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Picked up this baby today for $100 complete with the G4 Sonnet 500 MHz processor upgrade and Apple Extended Keyboard II! My dad was a graphic designer and I was lucky enough to grow up with this machine playing Quake, Pathways Into Darkness and Apeiron. Those were the days!3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Got my Power Macintosh 9500/200 delivered from Alaska today fully expecting it to be a shattered mess of plastic, but it was in great condition!! So relieved!3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
By far for me the coolest non-tech apple product I’ve ever found. This beanie is from the 1986 Apple Catalog that made fashion and other Apple logo branded merchandise. It’s full of truly bizarre clothes that just scream 1986.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Never realized how yellowed my SE was until I got my new SE/30. I’ve thought about retrobriting but for some reason I honestly like the yellowed effect it has given many of my old computers. It shows it’s age.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Rescued another Macintosh SE/30 for just $60. No video, but I figured for $60 I could try and fix it.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
For years had this in its original Mac bag in the closet. Got a new desk and put it aside my 5K iMac. I love being able to look at this baby while I work from home. And yes I know the 3.5” drive is supposed to go on the right but I seldom power this thing on and when I do I move it.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Finally got my hands on a Pismo! I always thought the brown keyboard color trim was so weird in the coolest possible way. Like it was trying to relate to the consumer-level iMac and iBook in a professional and translucent bronze color.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Got my Hard Disk 20 in the mail today and couldn’t be more stoked! I just need a period correct phone to connect to my Macintosh phone modem.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
I've created a monster!! Finally got a Macintosh II. Way heavier and bigger than I had anticipated! But a beautiful computer nonetheless!3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Does anyone know if Super Disks have the ability to read standard 3.5” 1.44 MB floppies?3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Picked up this beast today at an ewaste facility. The power supply has a clicking sound coming from it when I power it on and I can hear the front speaker pop. Any suggestions on fixes or what might be wrong?3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Bought a spare clear case to repair my old G4 cube and have this damaged one leftover. Any ideas on what I could do with it? I am trying to think of a cool way to repurpose it other than a fish tank or tissue box.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
A small fragment of my software collection. I love big box Apple software! Wish they still made physical boxes for software...3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Picked up a 21” two page display the other day and I’m still trying to find a spot in my apartment to store it in the meantime. It is sitting in my car in the sun in 75° heat. Should I bring it inside or is it ok in the trunk?3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
What is the earliest boxed version of the Macintosh system software? I’ve seen system seven in a big box but did they make any other big box software earlier than that? Like system 6? If it wasn’t boxed, how would users receive system six new?3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Can anyone identify the monitor on the far right? I have a 12” High Resolution RGB Display (one on far left) for my Mac II but this one looks smaller than mine. Did Apple make a smaller version of this display or are my eyes playing tricks on me?3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Will this hurt my laptops if I stack them like this? It’s a 12” PB on a 15” titanium on top of a PowerBook 15”3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
I grew up typing on an Apple Extended Keyboard II and I have to say it has been my favorite Apple keyboard of all their keyboards. Is there any way to connect this to a modern iMac for typing on? It would be a dream to use this again.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
I’ve been meaning to find someone to recap many of my macs as I have been worried about capacitors busting open. If my computers aren’t plugged in and not powered on, is there still a risk of capacitors rupturing? FYI I don’t plan on turning on my macs until I’ve replaced the capacitors.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
I have yet to replace the capacitors in this 512k as well as a few other macs. Is it better to not turn them on until I replace the caps or turn them on every once in a while to get the electricity flowing? I have heard mixed things.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Is this an original Bondi Blue iMac G3 Keyboard? The original bondi blue version and blueberry keyboards have same model number. This keyboard is from 1998 which leads me to believe it is an original Bondi Blue model as the five flavors did not come out until 1999. Is this correct?3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Just picked up this bad boy today. Should I put OS 9 or Jaguar on it? I love the classic Mac OS 9 look but there is something about Jaguar that just seems so nostalgic to me. I think it’s my favorite version of OS X. What do you think?3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
Just pulled out my 512K logic board and noticed a rubber foot attached to the bottom of the board. Is this normal? Should I take it off? I have no idea why it is there.3yr ⋅ rael2421 ⋅ r/VintageApple
