Macintosh Color Classic - July 25, 2025

This machine was in rough shape. The logic board was covered in grass, dust, capacitor goop, and the battery had started to leak. Thankfully the battery leakage was contained to just the battery holder, and the capacitor corrosion cleaned up nicely. The logic and analog boards are completely recapped, and the machine is back in service. The RAM will be upgraded at some point and the display could use some geometry adjustments, but for now I am just happy it is running and booting off its original IBM hard drive. Latest Update: The floppy drive has now been cleaned and lubricated, and the hard drive swapped for a BlueSCSI to give the machine network capabilities and a solid state hard drive option. This system has since been sold. Updated 8/22/2026
