GIVEAWAY! 🎁 Mac SE Reloaded KIT

[@JDW-]

We have a WINNER! Thanks to all who entered. My video about that is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4nXqXxnjKiGqrc

[@ActionRetro]

Oh yes. Amazing project, and I'm definitely throwing my hat in the ring!

[@MacintoshLibrarian]

This is eggciting! Thank you for this awesome giveaway! Your videos are well produced and detailed :)

[@lawsononyoutube]

crazy crossover

[@techcraft007]

This is incredible ! I just discovered your channel and even though I am a French channel I would be happy to make a video of assembling the kit 🤩

[@vanillawaluigi7650]

I’ve been looking for a way to get into vintage MACs and will definitely be checking out your build guide. The kit looks amazing!

[@mandapanda5921]

My husband loves your videos and he’s been watching your SE reloaded series. He’s super excited about the prospect of doing this build. Thank you for everything you do for the community! He loves your post on the boards too!!😊❤

[@dangerdanreviews5750]

Great work. I have a wall full of these Macs that I picked up as trash over the last 20 years. Time to get them working. You have a great channel that deserves so many more subs!

[@gordonmilner9473]

Great to see you back JDW. We’ve missed you! The giveaway is great, but frankly, the most valuable thing you give us all is your passion and hard work on your videos. Keep up the awesome work!

[@brandipity1316]

I'd love this. My SE is starting to fire off random address/bus errors, so this would be perfect. Thanks man!

[@GarthBeagle]

What an amazing giveaway! So much soldering :)

[@NunesHR]

That's a great work. I'm working on my Clear Case SE right now!

[@tappdarden]

Great youtube channel. Whenever I find somebody who has a question that you answer in a video I send them a link!

[@ColonialPuppet]

I'd love to make a video of the soldering process for these boards!

[@Snohup]

Woot! Thank you! I'm building a hackintosh with a 9" CRT monitor, a fanless VIA EPIA with a C3 processor and Mini vMac. I would do a side-by-side comparison video with the resurrected SE.

[@Kikay0n]

Super excited for the winner! I keep checking I know it’s weeks away!

[@EricsEdgeVideos]

What an awesome #MARCHintosh giveaway! I’d be honored to feature this on my channel. Good luck to all of the contestants!

[@EricsEdgeVideos]

Wow. You weren’t kidding about the bots.

[@mikewottle8893]

Enjoyed your channel since found you when learning to recap my SE analog board. You replied to my questions and even updated the mouser cart when some components were out of stock. I’d love to move on to something more involved. Great content! Keep it up.

[@tedgrenfell2394]

Wow! Sweet prize and bonuses. Loved your "made in USA" comment. Here in NZ we like finding tech stuff made in the US as the quality is usually better. You may find it's different in Japan I guess.

[@Jibbertronics]

Love the idea of this giveaway James, thanks for doing it! Would certainly love to give it a go, I have an old parts board that should do nicely! 😊

[@sunandmoon9898]

Great idea, I'd love to put the Mac together. It would be a great addition to my vintage Mac collection.

[@1ManWrenching]

I’ve been watching this since the beginning. I’d love to have this kit. I’ll build it right away!

[@cplkangarew1997]

I think this is awesome. I bought a couple of SE’s to work on after watching your build and repair videos. I’ve really appreciated the inspiration that the videos gave me and the reminder of what these machines were to me as a youngster. The contest is a great idea. Thank you for what you have been doing

[@SimplyTalking-kz3ot]

Excellent giveaway. Really good idea to support a worthwhile project.

[@chironbramberger]

That's super cool! I just finished an Apple-1 build with case so this would be fun!

[@6806goats1]

Missed out on this but with your speedy bend tool, it brought me to looking at rebuilding an SE. Don't have one but I'll look into it. I was gonna be happy with a Trash can but I'll review and see about going back further. Thank you again for good material.

[@JDW-]

Well, thank you for checking out this video and commenting. I actually followed up with the winner, but he still hasn't started on the SE Reloaded Kit he won yet. I don't mean to be harsh, but I must admit that I was disappointed in that, especially because I did the Giveaway in the first place to spread awareness of the SE Reloaded project. I wanted that awareness to spread so more people would give it a try. Anyway, that's why I've not done another giveaway since. I tried to make it fair, and it was. But should I do another in the future, I believe I'll be a bit more selective. Picking folks who will do the projects rather than shelve them is a key consideration for me. When we actively use, repair and work on our vintage stuff, I think the hobby has meaning. But when we merely acquire and closet the stuff, letting it collect dust, we become little more than hoarders. Again, I don't mean to be too down on the winner, and hopefully he embarks on the project soon. I just want to encourage folks to remain active in the hobby, and when the time comes that is no longer possible, we ought to give or sell the stuff back to the community who will love and appreciate it. I therefore am excited to hear about your own interest in rebuilding an SE. I applaud your efforts and hope to hear more about your progress. Please consider joining us on TinkerDifferent, if you're not on there already: tinkerdifferent.com/forums/compact-macs.34/

[@jrrscttktts]

Looks like fun! I’m currently trying to get my old dual-floppy SE working again (which is how I found your channel).

[@RetroAnachronist]

Oooh, sign me up. I can totally solder this. Thanks!!

[@DanielBartholomew]

Awesome. This is a great project and this giveaway is amazing. Good luck to everyone!

[@mauroacciaccaferri3016]

Excellent. This is a cool giveaway? Good luck people. 😁

[@philgreenland1534]

I'd love to enter! Found your channel while looking at recapping / restoring my first SE30. Your mouser parts links and guidance saved me a ton of time. Two brought back from the dead and one to go 🙂

[@KrishnaDraws]

Such a great giveaway! I have used your videos to resurrect my Mac SE (fully recapped). It was a lot of fun. I have several working spare parts from a battery bombed SE/30, including the CRT (minor ghosting), analog board, PSU etc. If the winner of the SE reloaded board needs those parts and lives in the US, please get in touch.

[@johnhlynn9625]

Thanks for this giveaway! Your videos have helped me to complete my Color Classic Mystic project.

[@tw9746]

Thanks so much for the giveaway. Love your content.

[@michaelsworkshop9031]

This giveaway looks awesome! Thank you for all of your videos. Please count me in!

[@2dfx]

Good luck to whoever wins this amazing kit!

[@camwynd5730]

What a fantastic give away! Hopefully the winner gets hooked on restoring classic computers.

[@metoo478]

Good luck all. Shipping piles up quickly.

[@jasoncampbell2952]

I really appreciate all your contributions to the community!

[@kirkjensen1718]

Heck yes! I have an SE just waiting for a new home!

[@adheeshparelkar4979]

Super excited James! It would be exciting to assemble this board and have been actually been considering Kai’s Macintosh Classic board to restore my battery bombed Classic but the SMD chips on them have been keeping me from doing it. This board will be a perfect project since it’s all through hole :)

[@douglasgoodwin9124]

This is an amazingly generous giveaway, thanks so much for doing it. I'm in!

[@waads6975]

Thank you for helpful videos .

[@magisterludiv]

Love your tutorials. I use them as guides for work on my own restoration projects. I have several of the SE models for parts for the project should a chance win come my way. Please continue with your really excellent, detailed and quality videos! Kudos to Kai for the superb board...

[@stopcreepingyouweirdo]

Very excited for this opportunity - I have a battery-bombed SE here that definitely needs some love!

[@joseluisgarciadeza3802]

What a great idea! Good luck and enjoy.

[@insanelydigitalvids]

Yes, I'd like to enter. The board would be returning to Kai's homeland for construction. I have the required skills and needed parts (I had to laugh when you held up the rest of the "required" computer! LOL). A very generous giveaway. Thank you. Finger crossed! 🤞

[@hidde1626]

First of all, like I already mentioned under your videos, I think your videos are really underrated. You help maintaining these history pieces. I'd like to win one of these boards to get one of my corroded SE's working

[@cann0nf0der]

Great give away, thank you for sharing 😊

[@FrankConforti]

I’ve enjoyed your videos and, more importantly, learned much from your attention to details. Keep up the good work and I’m sure you’ll be at 100K subscribers sooner than you think! I’m looking forward to your next project. Cheers.

[@whiteyukimi]

Wow! Great project to challenge! I’ve been watching all of your videos starting from Retrobrite techniques back in the days😂 Thanks for all the detailed videos which really helps when I can tell whether I’m working on same revision or not. Last but not least, I hope your wife recovers soon and everyone stays healthy!

[@CybergalX]

Great channel, you helped get me hooked on Retro Macs. I now have successfully recapped three SE30's, rebuilt a couple of floppy drives and now have a blueSCSI powered clear cased SE30 all after following your videos :) ... I'm currently working on a SE30 reloaded purple. Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@MaxHarrison]

Good luck everybody! I've been wanting to get into building a "reloaded" board for a bit now.

[@johnsnook2358]

Cool giveaway! I have a couple of battery bombe board SE motherboards. 😄

[@zacwhite8732]

This would be a super fun build! 🤞Thanks for putting this on! Love the videos 👍

[@coryengel]

Thanks for the giveaway!

[@ncbreezy]

Great giveaway Thanks for the opportunity I could put that to good use

[@chrisdaun]

Love your videos and I'm excited about the contest! Glad you're back posting great content :)

[@808animescoob9]

Owning a vintage PC or Mac is owning a piece of tech history. I have a few of them that work and would absolutely enjoy getting another one working. Great videos, Keep up the good work. Best of luck to everyone in the giveaway.

[@CygnusTM]

I’d love to take on this challenge. Thanks!

[@HighwoodCreations]

Congratulations on all your success JDW! really loved your work so far Thanks for the se recap video, it really helped me in my project! Count me in on the giveaway

Thank you for the great content and for the contest. A great way for me to win a chance to revive an SE of my own.

[@thatMattW]

Amazing channel and person, thank you so much JDW! Really love this project and had so much fun watching your videos as they came out, would love the opportunity to attempt this but am just glad youre giving someone the opportunity:)

[@jimbo9723]

Great video! I always look forward to them

[@joemelo5696]

As a college student writing my essays on an Atari 800XL, I coveted a Mac SE. When I finally was able to save up and buy a used Mac SE with a 20mb hard drive, I completely fell in love with it.

[@JVicCS]

Love the channel and this opportunity!

[@AppleRepairLady]

This sounds like a very challenging, but fun and interesting recycling challenge for one of my sad Macs. 😊

[@jedigriffo]

Love your videos - Hope I win, I have a great project in mind and would love to post a video of the project and the process in making it - and I'd love to put it on display when done :)

[@CoreyDeWalt]

This is a very exciting! Thank you for this opportunity.

[@RacerX-]

Wow that is really awesome and this would be a great kit to put together. Yes Please and thank you.

[@ZerodJailbreak]

I actually own board 11/20 of Kai's first run. I was really into the project but when I realized how much parts cost, I sadly had to shelve it. I'd really love to finally be able to build it. :) And thanks for that video series James, it was actually really good. :)

[@keithsink1742]

This is a very generous give away. Good luck to everyone.

[@studiohanson]

Would definitely love to build a reloaded SE. I am in!

[@Kikay0n]

This is such a cool giveaway! I have so many donor parts for an SE, I’d love to win and make a working modern board! Even if I don’t win, thanks for your content! It’s great! I will be happy to build and film it! Maybe I can start my KZbin carrier. ;)

[@AngeloTelesforo]

I think I never saw a giveaway so generous and so in tune with the theme/audience of the channel! I followed the project in TinkerDifferent from the beginning! If I win I promise to record a video putting it together in my Brazilian Portuguese accented English 🤣

[@CayMacVintage]

Great prize. Nice to build reloaded boards.

[@BeniD82]

Soldering iron primed and ready!

[@pocketscience911]

Wonderful initiative James to spread the word about Kai’s amazing work! Best of luck to all! 🍀

[@koodoonas]

[@slomacuser]

Let’s do some soldering 😊

[@oliviermichaut386]

Hello JDW ! Great initiative to share your passion and spread it by this way. I follow your channel and I have to say that you are doing great -> some of my old machines came back to life like my IMac mid 2010 with its default radeon video card. thanks for what you are doing and hope to continue to benefit from your work 30 years more !!! Take care. Olivier

[@garrettbunge3118]

Thank you James for this great opportunity!

[@ronservice9261]

Hello from New Zealand. Follow your channel and it has helped me a lot fixing mac stuff. My very first Mac was an SE way, way back in 1987. BTW, is this board for the original SE or the SEHD model?

[@reiporre]

Great initiative!

[@deedeelabricolade]

Holly molly, I'm in ! Good luck everyone !

[@djbryant77]
