@mac84tv I restored one a while back, love that machine. Would really like an 040 accelerator for it though.

retrotechtive (retrotechtive@retrochat.online)'s status on Tuesday, 07-May-2024 13:37:05 JST retrotechtive Anyone need a replacement chassis for a #Macintosh Classic?
It will be going on eBay at some point, but in case someone's project here needs one. Probably at CAD $50, plus shipping - I want it to go to someone who will really appreciate it, as with all similar parts.
Note: this is from a totally dead and unrepairable machine, so no usable Macs were harmed in the making of this toot!

It's a newly arrived broken #Macintosh Plus from eBay, some of you might have even seen it on there - not very expensive but not working. I couldn't just leave it sitting there in distress so snapped it up.
However, now it's arrived, it appears this one might be a little bit special...

This looks like part of a very professional mod. I removed the power cable, but saw the fan cable seemed to be trailing off elsewhere...

retrotechtive (retrotechtive@retrochat.online)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2023 03:37:18 JST retrotechtive Following it, it leads to this unexpected extra board. Anyone know what it is? (I don't!)
It looks like this will also prevent the logic board from just sliding out, so I'll have to disassemble the entire machine to get the chassis out first.

retrotechtive (retrotechtive@retrochat.online)'s status on Friday, 01-Dec-2023 03:37:17 JST retrotechtive Whatever it is, I think the video I was pondering making will now get made just to explore this!
I'll have to look at this later on as work resumes shortly... but this was totally unexpected!

Be incredible if it was an accelerator though!
