Great video! I'm glad you got your system up and running. Thank you so much for adding those documents to your archiving pile. If you need help archiving those floppies, a program like DiskCopy 6.3 would do great. It would be nice to look at a copy of the Mirror disk. If your PSU is having issues, it may need a recap (unless you already did that) I have recapping diagrams for the TDK model on my website. Enjoy your Mac, it's great!

Hey Steve, thanks for dropping by. I’m honoured. I’m a big fan of your work. The PSU has been recapped and cleaned. It was not happy when I bought it. I also recapped the logic board because, well 90s Apple really cheaped out on the eletrolytics. :). I’ll certainly look up disk copy 6.3, and il, get a copy of the Mirror disk uploaded to Macintosh garden and the internet archive soon. Sadly the monitor stopped working just after I finished filming. I suspect I’ll be recapping that next! Anyway, will drop by your discord soon.

Cheers Dave. And thanks. Sorry I missed the live stream on Halloween, I’d just finished an 8 show week and spent Sunday sleeping on the sofa intermittently. How about I pop on this weekend? I’ve a G5 Power Mac That needs a good cleaning ready for work at home. :)

Yeah, reluctant and non-cooperative screws are the bane. Watching someone doing assembly is nice and relaxing, though. With the floppy greasing off-screen... I don't think that's that much idiot at all. I mean, I'd guess most tech channels would use a pretty high resolution camera, positioned a bit further back and then they can just take a crop of whatever they want to focus on. Editing video's makes up for a lot. Glad to see the LC back to live. The weirdness of the monitor is just because it's mostly for Desktop publishing and it follows paper format.

Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. The monitor is now sitting it he repair pile having failed just after I filmed the last shot. I’ll adjust my filming angle for the next video, there’s always something new to learn doing this. :)

Great video on a good machine!
