- I recently picked up this Macintosh Classic in its original box. In this video I unbox the machine, and perform some necessary repairs.
In case anyone is looking for the Swedish OEM disks that came with this machine, I made images of them and uploaded to Macintosh Garden: macintoshgarden...

This was my first computer! Well the first we had where I was old enough to start playing games! ... like... SHUFFLEPUCK!
I watched your vids out of order so this was the last one... I think i've watched everything now.. and I can't wait for more! Amazing videos, keep up the great work!
You dodged a bullet with the PRAM leakage, luckily it seems it was stored on its side. I recommend picking up a scsi2sd to replace the hdd, as those Quantum SCSI units are prone to failure.
Yeah, I’ve thought about doing that. That Quantum drive is also ear-piercingly loud.
@@OddObsolete it was a lot more painless than I was expecting when doing the same with my SE/30, it immediately recognized the scsi2sd and booted after flashing a disk image.
because of the caps, you replaced the electrolytic capacitors with tantalums.
the two capacitors have different characteristics.
here in the voltage regulation part, it should not make a big difference, but be aware, that you could screw up things by replacing a capacitor with not the exact replacement, like if the caps are for buffering or decoupling on for example pentium boards, aka 400Mhz upwards you can mnake the CPU run unstable with that.
just keep that in mind, and no worries, in pwer supplies it shoud not make a big issue.
at 13:45, you gotta love that satisfying click when you unscrew those old screws
Use an mac Classic for 3 years in my classroom as well as my home. Brings back memories!
Great video! If you ever get corrosion from caps anymore consider putting the board in a dishwasher. Btw new sub.
That hard disk is a wonderfully nostalgic sound for all of about 5 minutes. I'd be replacing it with either a SCSI2SD or a BlueSCSI already :-D
Awesome job on the repair :)
Really enjoy your videos man :)
Great content
I'm not a Mac person so I don't 'know' but I would just check and make sure that the old PRAM battery wasn't of the rechargeable type as putting in a standard CR2032 replacement might be a tad risky. If it is, you can sort it by putting a diode in line - an old retro PC trick ;-)
Good tip! They’re typically not rechargeable in the Macs, but it’s definitely a good idea to double check.
Very nice job :)
Tjusigt! Jag har införskaffat en (också från tradera, men ingen fin låda) och ska testa metoden att vrida loss kondensatorerna.
I picked up a Macintosh Classic last year. It, too, came with the computer, keyboard, mouse, and printer. Well, half the printer. The paper feeding part is missing, and according to the seller very unlikely to show up again... So, if anyone in Sweden happens to run across a runaway paper feeder for this model of StyleWriter, let me know!
Also, will you be archiving these disks? If so, please let me know. I'd like to make a set for mine too since it didn't come with them.
Sure, I can make images of the floppies. I’ll get back to you!
@@OddObsolete Awesome, thanks! You're one of my new favourite TH-camrs, so exciting to see a fellow Swede in the retro scene.

Gamla goda Macintosh och deras tangentbord.. Så många barndomsminnen av att spela Weltris och tetris.. Och Shufflepuck Cafe givetvis.
Och en hederlig gammal Stylewriter dessutom.. Jag kan fortfarande höra ljudet av skivaren i huvudet när jag tänker mig tillbaka..
How do you get so little views? i am grinding all your videos now
Uh... I had got my hands on an exact same setup maybe 6-8 years ago for free, everything working, lots of office'ish software, from a lady who was teaching French and she used it for writing and printing things for her students daily... then I sold it after a couple of months to some collector for an equivalent of $300, because I was bored with it and I didn't even know how to get more software on it to do anything outside of office work (I was like 14, please forgive me).
Today. I. Regret. That. Decision.
