But....that's just common sense. Of COURSE it's not permanent, NOTHING is. Eventually the plastics will yellow again, how long that takes depends entirely on how it's stored/used post treatment.

The steamer would be handy for a lot of other tasks as I've noticed you're a neat freak like me, haha. You'd be amazed at what you can clean with just steam. Anyways, I'm just throwing it out there.

the LC was the stand
@s8wc35 жыл бұрын
But they didn't sell a stand for it at all, nevermind for $1000. If you wanted to adjust it you either propped it up on something or you just bought a better monitor.

Of course that it doesn't come with a stand. It is 80s CRT. The BOTTOM is THE stand.

3:35 I would highly recommend spraying the window cleaner onto the paper towel instead of directly onto the monitor. There are vent holes and other ways the fluid could get into the inside of it and cause some issues.

Nice work. An idea for removing something like that mic holder is to use dental floss. I learned that from the car de-badging community.

Yep. There seems to be a fine line between enough perfectionism that has its merits and too much of it that it starts the "ball of diminishing returns" rolling. I guess right between those two is the "sweet spot."

I remember in the computer lab of my elementary school in the early 1990s they had a couple of color Macintosh computers with a whole bunch of black and white Macintosh computers. Everyone would rush to try to get to the color computers. Can you show the recapping of the LC once you have the capacitors?

My dad had this exact model, with the matching Apple Laser printer, the Scanner and microphone, with all the booklets and such. My brother put it for sale few years ago, but i don't know if he ever sold it or not, but with my dad being a heavy smoker, it certainly needed a good retrobright. And the speaker also made the exact same noise after a while, as well!

I think the Performa 475 used the same case, as that looks just like the one I had, save that I modded mine with a blue LED for the HD activity light! Sadly, I no longer have the case, but I do still have the motherboard with the max amount of RAM it would take, plus a “real” 68040, not the 68LC040 in the original Performa. I may even have the SCSI HD with System 7 on it somewhere...
