@[email protected] just posted an informative video about how to properly evaluate a newly acquired classic #Macintosh computer. I wish I'd have taken his advice before trying to power on my Quadra 700! #apple #vintage #retro #computing #cameo #explosion #boom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXpl-DDyhUo
Here's my contribution @likesoldmacs!
Thanks for helping to rid the world of this scourge! 🪫#getthebatteriesout #MARCHintosh

fraggLe!Yep, the ribbon plug on the 3.5" was backwards. But checking that I shifted some ribbon cables and found something that suggests it's unlikely I'll get it working today.
Jason P 🌈And here we have a bad combination... a large lithium clock battery, mounted above a hard disk sealed with only tape. The battery leaked a little bit....

..time to store this Macintosh Quadra 950
🔋putting this Maxell battery in so System 7 Pro remembers the time 😁
lpbkdotnetI’ve spent over a year been looking for a Mk1 operators console for my #isdx #TelephoneExchange…
I finally got one a few weeks back, but before I start trying to wire it up to the #PhoneExchange I wanted to give it a once over, and #GetTheBatteriesOut if needed!
It all looks good, no obviously leaky caps, no battery to remove, most of the chips are date coded 1986.
I’ve put it back together, and now I can proceed with sorting out the exchange end!
