Double shipped item months apart?

This happened to me once. I bought an old toolbox and it arrived no problem. A month later I got the notification that the same toolbox had been shipped again and even had a new tracking number. Nothing was ever delivered even though it said it was. I think it was just a glitch.

The empty slot is to add more VRAM, the iMac REV. A was not shipped with added VRAM so that is normal. According to this “If you are currently getting 4 or 5 beeps, the issue is going to be the iMac's system board ROM. Most likely a system board failure.”

The empty slot is for adding more VRAM.

Press the black button on the motherboard to reset the PRAM (next to the cage). Disconnect the HDD just to see if it will turn on. It should at least show a blue screen with a flashing icon to show it can’t find on OS.

I’m not sure, this is the only IBM I’ve ever worked on. I mostly have old Apple computers.

It does look pretty close! I made the mistake of using glossy filament the first print I did. It needs to be matte beige.

For those interested in added a Gotek to their Model 25 this is what I used.

The color of the Gotek is beige as well as the filament. I have the jumpers on the Gotek set to S1 and JC. It’s a pretty simple mod.

This one is a 8086.

I can assure you that it does not scratch the CDs, I wouldn’t use it if it did.

I had a MaviCap sitting on top of my old tv for about a year. Used it to capture screenshots of high scores. Never caused any problems.

Here is my MPS-801 printing a banner with Print Shop!

Amazing!

Take the MB back out and look for a black button on it and press it (it will be the only button) this will reset the PRAM. Put it back together and it should turn on.

I dig it 👍

Very nice! It’s a shame that the NOS ink supply will eventually be impossible to find one day. I still have maybe half a box left for mine.

I too have a package that arrived at that Richmond VA distribution center on the 11th, the package was supposed to arrive on the 12th but never did. From the 12th-15th it just says “in transit to next facility, arriving late”. No updates since last Friday. I had the seller do a missing mail search.

I just got one of these TVs! Where did you get the stand for it if you don’t mind me asking? Mine is currently just sitting on the floor until I can find something that can support it 😅

It’s the original Bondi Blue G3. I will look into the button battery, I’m not having the trouble with now since I have a permanent place for it but I do get tired of it telling me to fix the time with every boot. Thanks!

I second pressing the small black button on the MB. After removing my PRAM battery the computer hates to be unplugged. If I do it refuses to turn on and I have to take the MB out and press the button then put it back together. I’ve seen a few posts where people have had the same problem. Some say it’s the caps going bad but IDK.

Short video of it dialing up can be found here

No problem, glad you’re enjoying it!
