TimsRetroMy first venture into retro Macs resulted in this (yes the vendor seriously thought an apple crate & scrunched up A4 sheets was suitable packing material!!!). SO should I find a replacement bezel (probably cost as much as the Mac when shipped from the US), try to repair it "nicely", or go full FrankenMac? #MARCHintosh
mahlay@trc Take the opportunity to be creative with it, could probably rebuild the corner with some epoxy, wouldn’t be such a sin to paint it now either, was pretty yellowed anyway
@maylay Hmmmm yellow. Now there's a thought...
LikesOldMacs@trc oh no!! Plastics aside does it work ok?
@likesoldmacs I bought it as "spares/repair" (having never been inside one, although I was a quadra coder back in the mid 90s). It does power on to a sad mac face, but that's it. Figuring out how to get it working is gonna be half the fun... :)
@trc Sad Mac is better than nothing! Good luck! 😁
seth@trc anything that boots is beautiful, never forget.
Peter Fletcher@trc Where are you located? I have a dead performa 6200 (likely just the PSU) that I could send you if that would be helpful.
@Recta_Pete I'm in the UK
