I'm doing my research in preparation for a restoration of a Brunswick 15 and came across this series. The content creator here is an excellent instructor and it's unfortunate that the series wasn't completed. Last content created here was a couple years ago and I can't find any information as to why this channel went silent.

Noticed that my SuperDrive the disc does not even spin n assume it’s dead drive even tho it shows in device settings as an active drive.

Mmm.... Radio....

❤❤

65X1 : 1946, 5 tubes, no power transformer-AC/DC, cabinet style #1 . 😊

I have one of these and have been coming to love some old Apple hardware, and I have the same problem. Even if I cant fix the display and somehow turn it into a screenless box that connects to a monitor, is there even use for one of these today?

Is the parameter battery the same one used in the Macintosh Power PC? Recently found a tossed out G4, & some time ago I found a tossed out 6500 / 250 & matching CRT. The 6500 works, but not sure about the G4! Your G4 has iOS X?

I am working on a Majestic Model 200 floor radio and this technique should perfectly work for me. Many thanks!

Very cool. What kind of keyswitch needed replacing? Can you mention the source?

I’ve got the exact same one

Nicely done, however you referred to it as a Blueberry, I believe it is a Rev B Bondi Blue as I have one in the other room which my wife gave me new for Christmas Lo those many years ago..

Can't download Brunswick model 15 service manual pdf. Please advise why

hi thanks for the video! same situation, do you know if i need the same pioneer player or a a generic atapi drive is fine?

Do you have a link to the one you purchased on eBay?

This is awesome! I have the 1969 version that's just metal with black writing. Fortunately it works, because when I opened it up, it's just a bunch of components soldered together. No PCB at all. I've considered selling it, but I can't find any for sale online to get a price range for it.

Excelente video, saludos desde México

Cool!

A summer project I would love to do is to restore the family Imac from when I was a kid, and maybe install Windows on it. My formative computer years took place on that thing and its sitting in my closet, awaiting a new life.

Just wondering but would it be possible to make the imac g4 into an external monitor and if so, how would you do this, Thanks and no worries if you dont know

I know this is a long time after but where did you get a belt replacement. Mine was going slower occasionally after I got it from my mom and I opened it up after watching your video. I have no belt on my gear

Where’s the power supply? You said that this is a take apart, but the only thing that you have done is take off the bottom case. And you did put it together again. That’s good.

Just now watching this as retired and currently enjoying full-time my passion of vintage Mac computers. Recently acquired an iMac G4 and the DVD drive is dead, so this very helpful. Since we are now in the era of the M1/M2/etc. Macs, it was quite funny to see the system boot up at end when you had the speed of the video running at 10x speed (or whatever it was) ... what I saw is how its like to boot up my M2 MacBook Pro!!! LoL

Just purchased one with no power off eBay for 80$ and purchased a pram battery and will receive the imac tomorrow, hopefully this works for mine!!!

Thanks for that nice and detailed video. I actually found the device quite easy to take apart due to your explanation. Unfortunately my iMac won't start up - the PRAM battery has around 3.2 volts - it should have 3.6v and I really hope that it will start again after replacement - fingers crossed!

Hello! I have a question, I’ve had an iMac G4 since i was really little, it was my childhood computer, and I’ve just the other day started using it again. It was sitting in storage for a while but works just fine now. I am worried though because it seems quite dusty on the inside (looking down through the holes on the top), I have no computer experience whatsoever and am worried this may impact my beloved computer’s performance an longevity in the future. I don’t think I could take it apart myself, so I’m wondering if i should take it to my computer guy to get it cleaned out? As I said there are no obvious issues with it’s performance, I would just like to have this computer with me as long as possible as i am incredibly attached to it. I don’t know much about computers as this is the only computer I’ve ever owned, so I don’t know if the dust something i should worry about at all?

My one has the same problem just inserted the battery but it still does not work...I can hear its on it runs but nothing on screen

Cool! I have that exact radio that I'm working on now. I didn't know a new glass was available- mine isn't broken, but the decals are peeling- Where did you get it?????. Mine also has the silver mica disease so I'm waiting for some replacement variable caps. Thanks for that back cover, mine is missing but now I know what it should look like so I can make a replacement.

05:03 “yea!!” This helped a ton. I think my g4 tower needs the same battery replacement.

Nice video, I could practically smell the dust on it through my screen.

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing.

Got one of those was working fine, stopped to play chime while powering on. Audio stutter problems like a damaged speaker I didn't mind so headphones and external speakers was working perfectly fine. Now just gives a grey screen with no image turning it on, sometimes a white flash screen and after that grey again. Powering with headphones still play the startup chime and OSX cuz it makes sounds while pressing mouse clicks or keys on the keyboard. Once booted to Mac OSX after 5 minutes pressing power iMac goes to suspension with blink light on monitor and HDD turns off, pressing anything gives white screen for one tiny instant and then grey again. I did PRAM method and PMU button reset but still not giving any image on display. Not even with CMD + S or other combination keys to do emergency recovery or something. I still have plenty of important old pictures and stuff stored here any help please. Or main board is about to die?? Boots even from super drive but no image just grey color.

These clocks were actually made in the early 60's, as my parents had one when they were married in 1962, plus the zip code for Spartus isn't located on it.

Thanks! This is useful.

Oh boy! The excitement! Tomorrow I will receive from Amazon a battery and some thermal paste - and because my iMac G4 is not responding at all - just like the one in this video - I am so hopeful!! It's a bit big for use as a paperweight, so my fingers are crossed. (I will update with the result - good, or bad).

Really cool I have a 1926 Brunswick Panatrope Victrola and a cabinet guy remade a couple pieces missing on in before it was refinished

Growing up my dad had TV and Radio repair in moundsville West Virginia!!!!!! Brings back memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He liked RCA and Motorola I remember

Will an iMac G4 boot with no PRAM battery? Bought a 17" G4 that won't boot, first thing I checked was the battery, it was dead. I pulled the battery put it back together and still no sign of life.

I still have my muff fuzz which is identical to yours, but missing both jacks and most of the wires. it has been banging around in its various boxes and bins since i was 16..... 44 years of neglect . I've been trying to fine good views of the connection points and details of the layout and found your absolutely perfect video for it ! Thank you so very much ! I am now able to "Resurrect" my old friend Muff Fuzz from purgatory.

Can you tell brand of the battery?

12:03 iMac G4 startup sound.

Wow! Man! You're the KING OF RESTORATION! Nothing is stopping you! I have the very similar model RCA Victor Little Master-A (the Canadian equivalent of US RCA Victor 65X1 model). I'm begining to restore it and you give me VERY GOOD HINTS. As others mentioned, it is suggested to replace all capacitors, especially the electrolytics. Well done job Steve!

Awesome. If you think that's tiny you should look at my line of work replacing components on iPhones and tablets/max. Those SMD components will put those parts to shame LOL

Glad to see you back.

It looks like your 128 Mac came from Drexel Univeristy with the big blue "D" logo on the front.

Great job!! Such attention to detail !! Great workmanship!!

so what was the part number? I need one too.

Excellent production.

Hello Sir, nice work! I have a question about it. It would be very nice if You could say me which unit is used at the dial (55 , 60 , 70 , ...). Thank in advance, Paul
