I’m glad you shared that the retrobriting has held up for two years. I have heard people complaining that retrobriting is a useless process and doesn’t work permanently.

[@17Codiferus]

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. Assuming it took around 30 years to get that bad to begin with, it's not unreasonable to expect a decade or more out of a well-cared-for restored piece.

[@NetworkXIII]

Van Rose Minimizing future exposure to UV light probably helps also. Some of the yellowing patterns you see on this old equipment can tell a story.

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

When I retrobrighted my vintage Macs, I sprayed on 303 plastic protector which blocks UV rays. Years later, they are still flawless in their glorious platinum beige. Highly recommend getting a bottle of this, it works really well to prevent re-yellowing.

You should leave the plastic wrap on even with a full tub as it limits evaporation which carries quite a bit of heat away.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

I think he was concerned that the wrinkles of the wrap would touch the top of the case and possibly cause some weird marks due to unevenness.

[@RCAvhstape]

@@HelloKittyFanMan. Easy way to fix that is to put a couple of 2x4s across the rim to keep the plastic wrap above the case.

[@emanwe01]

I second this. With the plastic wrap off, evaporative cooling will rob you of a lot of heat. Tent the plastic wrap with a board or chunk of coat hanger if contact with the piece is an issue.

Plus of course many hours spent in King's Quest V, which got me into point-and-clicks back in the day.

[@elfenmagix8173]

That noise is an issue on ALL LC Series Machines, including the Classic, Classic II and Color Classic/Color Classic II Macs (They all use the same or similar board design. The issue is in two parts: Logic Board Caps going bad, thus the Logic board needs to be recapped. The second part is the LC PSU, the caps on the 5/12V side needs to need to be replaced as well. Recapping the LC PSU is simple if it is the Astek PSU. The only issue is that you need to get the same physical sized cap. I did several LC PSU and the proper uf and voltage caps but some were larger than what was in there and caused a bit of problem in closing the PSU case.. Recapping the Logic board, take it slow and your time to recap it. Good luck. If you need some more advise on this, reply and I'll send you my email for more detailed correspondence.

[@madmax2069]

yup, luckily my 475 hasn't started doing that yet. i still want to get it entirely recapped, there is just nobody local to me to have it done, and my hands arent stable enough to do surface mounted stuff, so my attempting that is out of the question.

[@80486sx]

[@pd1jdw630]

[@noelburke9792]

Could also be a filter cap related to the cpu fan. I have seen a similar issue inside an old vcr with a built in amplifier. Every time the motor for the cassette playback moved, popping and clicking could be heard through some connected speakers. Replacing a single capacitor on the motor got rid of the noise.

[@michvod]

I was repairing LC models for the past 6 years. Repaired about a 200 of them. The squealing is coming from the audio IC because of the bad caps. Had about 40 that did the same :) Just my 2 cents. Recap and wash the board throughly.

As an upholstery/car guy who loves your videos, I have a tip. Buy a good steamer like a mcculloch 1370 and some plastic trim tools.

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

[@s8wc3]

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.

[@igornikolic4394]

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

9:39 Does anyone remember that in his first Retro bright video that the store on the left was RadioShack?

[@stinkertonsden]

WOW!! That's a massive improvement!! Kudos dude!!

The Mac LC was my first mac. 4mb of ram, 40mb hard drive, that same 12" monitor, system 7.0. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Close to 1M Subs... I can’t wait for him to reach that milestone! :D 2:38 sounds JUST LIKE a screaming Gecko or a tea kettle going off...

Glad I am not the only one who takes photos before I take it apart! Can't tell you how many times that has saved me.

[@hyperpuppy2]

Your patience level is astounding. Great job

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...

I was wondering: are you on a first name basis with Sally's beauty supply considering all the retro brighting you do?

[@PaulFisher]

Everybody is on a first-name basis with Sally’s!

[@arcticdragon3565]

Your restoration videos are my favorite!

I had an LC Mac growing up! So good to see them again! In fact my first interior cleaning, which began my career in computer hardware, was an LC Mac. It had a ton of dust bunnies and it was a daycare computer and it had a large wooden domino in the floppy drive. LOL!
