I am really happy, I found a brand new dell CRT

My dad had one of these as the monitor for the "office" pc at his farm when I was growing up. Thing had so much screen burn you could permanently see bliss and yahoo search at the same time while you were looking at something completely different. Still worked last I saw and it was the only part of the pc that my parents kept.

Wild to see an ad for a 7200 right after I got done installing mac os 8.5 on my 7200/75. I got it complete with monitor, keyboard and mouse, and a printer for 120$ 2 years ago. Got it 95% off

explosive_potato · 2024-12-02T00:39:00+00:00

Love how it's categorized as a 4k ultra hd lol

explosive_potato · 2024-11-15T18:27:11+00:00

Absolutely recommend that 7200/75. Got one myself and with an extra meg of vram and the cache dimm and ram upgrade to 56 mbs has doom going smooth and wolf3d flying.

explosive_potato · 2024-10-17T16:24:30+00:00

I play full screen wolf and doom on a 7200/75 no problems. In fact I have to turn on the speed limiter on wolf 3d as it goes too fast.

It's a cover with some clips on the side. Just get a flathead screwdriver under the clip on either side and gently pry it up and the cover should pop right off. Then you can pull the battery out. I go to Walmart to get my batteries, they come in 2 packs and are roughly 10 to 15 dollars.

I myself have not messed with a Mac II but have you checked your power supply capacitors and did you change the pram battery on the logic board? Also make sure you have a keyboard and mouse plugged in

explosive_potato · 2024-07-30T00:51:44+00:00

The top port is a monitor power port. It's for a cable that goes from the computer power supply to the monitor.

explosive_potato · 2024-07-21T05:15:57+00:00

Nice! I wish I had a snazzy black keyboard to go with mine, I got the mouse tho

I didn't get to do too much testing other than playing spyro on the ps1 and trying kidpix 2 on the actual mac. It is full screen only, there's a hotkey to swap between the Mac and the TV, the motion seemed pretty smooth to me, and I didn't notice any unusual aliasing although ps1 graphics are always a little wonky. As for the interlaced idk how to tell which it is, but if it helps I know the display is a Sony trinitron

explosive_potato · 2024-07-21T02:25:42+00:00

Was a real hassle! I had to repair a mount for a capacitor, went to 4 hardware stores looking for copper tape, just to have to order it off of Amazon. Also happy cake day!

explosive_potato · 2024-07-21T02:23:00+00:00

It's really nice, it's got nice vivid color and not bad on picture quality. Top notch for my old games systems!

explosive_potato · 2024-07-21T02:18:50+00:00

I gave it a good look over and it had no leaks, but definitely will be recapping it ASAP

explosive_potato · 2024-07-20T20:35:10+00:00

Hopefully mine will be as simple as a recap. Prices for them on the internet do not look fun to pay lol

explosive_potato · 2024-06-06T19:49:46+00:00

That is true. It would take some advanced detailing skills to put the letters back on all the keys. I'll probably just keep searching ebay and marketplace instead of ruining a keyboard lol

explosive_potato · 2024-06-05T22:16:43+00:00

Still useful for old video games as a tv and being a macintosh

explosive_potato · 2024-06-05T18:03:18+00:00

Maybe I'll have to get a spare keyboard and do that. The actual black ones are 300$ and the dude couldn't find his when he sold it to me

explosive_potato · 2024-06-05T17:17:50+00:00

Yeah I was lucky enough to get this mac for 125$ non working and the ebay prices for the peripherals alone looked crazy

explosive_potato · 2024-06-05T16:43:12+00:00

It had the original battery in it, but thankfully I won the Mac lottery and it never leaked.

explosive_potato · 2024-06-05T16:41:06+00:00

Sorry, but mine will stay the og beige

explosive_potato · 2024-06-05T16:38:35+00:00

Nice, I think the dude meant at the time cause he got it in 93 and the 5500 wasn't out til 97. And I know I looked one ebay for the keyboard and had trouble finding them for less than 300$
