0x001B.2 - Solid Polymer ReCap of Mac Classic II

Tech Tangents 27 min Published Mar 2018

About this video

The Macintosh Classic II board gets solid polymer capacitors in a follow-up to the earlier repair, and the maker regrets assuming tantalum parts for the 47uF positions could not be found.

Good to know: The tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside too. Soldering means burns and fumes.

Why watch it

Second part on the Classic II, so the earlier video explains how the machine got here. The maker ends up liking the computer and mentions a game they had not heard of before.
