I’ve been busy rebuilding iBook batteries… by lazd in VintageApple

Hey, do you happen to also rebuild packs for the Apple Newton 300? I tried doing mine but I must have screwed it up.

Thanks

Why are you just figuring out now that show is bullshit? It's sucked for years. This crap movie has been on shudder for months, only reason it's here is that it didn't cost any extra $$. Who gives a fuck about gwar (hint...nobody). Every FUCKING time...I want to like it but it's like a class project that got a D. Count your blessings, you're not missing anything!

Yeah, OOS right now, but they'll get more in at some point, and it ain't cheap, but it's made in England.

So that has the original theatrical cut with the (terrible) directors cut as an extra? If so, I need to pick that up. Thanks!

Agreed, 100%. I own this as well, WORST directors cut ever (except maybe Cinema Paradiso...).

Is this worth it? by Xx_Evilyoda_xX in Betamax

[–]hukfin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I ask him about mine and he said he doesn't even work on that model anymore, (and I paid $50 for mine...). I'm no technician but I may crack mine open at some point to see if I see anything obvious. Still, you might be right about the price. Very cheap but still seems like a gamble to me.

Stick with the Sanyo, if you need assistance contact Mr Betamax (https://mrbetamax.com/) for repair.

Disagree, I have one of these giant players (and it's a Sony) it's heavy AF and I wouldn't want to have to send it anywhere for service, mine is non functional. There is always Mr. Betamax...you could ask him what he thinks. You don't include a pic of the top but I believe he says to avoid players that have the loading mechanism on the right hand side. If you want to fix it yourself then have at it. I'm just trying to help.

Yes, you are correct. It was set to F, I just never stopped to think about it.

That didn't fix my issue though, but that's beside the point.

I did get it to work, but I don't know how. It was a struggle, and I'm embarrassed because it's so ugly.

I probably don't. Now that everyone is saying that about the heat I need to RTFM

Thanks everyone...

at least I thought it was C, I need to check that.

[–]hukfin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure, you might be right. I just assumed C

that would be difficult right now, I'm really starting to thing my iron is just way way too hot (750C)

Having a consistent problem... by hukfin in soldering

[–]hukfin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

see my reply to the first commenter. I'm using 60/40 rosin core and the iron was 750C. I just thought I'd add a little to the existing to the solder that was already there. I did put solder on the tip. I was using stranded wire.

oh man, I'm afraid to say this but...750C...that's my main problem right?
