One of them doesnt work and the monitor is in average to poor condition.
I mean there is no rhyme or reason with these auctions sometimes but I was just wondering if there was something I was missing.
I wonder sometimes if sellers list a (fictional) similar item for like 3x the average price so people will think they’re getting a deal on another auction.
I hate eBay.
In my efforts to better understand the market I want to know - There seems to be no rhyme or reason with some of these auctions.
Apple ii plus sells for almost $1k...
I’m an impatient soul and instead of asking here and other places how to take it apart I kept pulling it apart until I broke it.
You have to push the from the back on the lower backplate. Cost me this monitor and then another $150 for a new one on eBay.
:ROFLMAO:
C'mon man!, I got everything working except for the monitor which I am fixing!
Love your line about the troglodytes who don't understand how phones are supposed to work, though.
Yeah there’s a knob but it doesn’t adjust any larger. I’m gonna open it up tomorrow.
Didn’t think about leaving it on. Maybe I’ll sneak back downstairs for a quick game..just one!
Lol, yup, Pac-Man probably isn’t the best game to display.
I got my first restoration project back together better than she’s been decades. I’ll tackle the monitor tomorrow.
Progress.
I haven’t been able to get it to play from the audio in and my iPhone but I I can get it to play games from the floppy.
I need to adjust this screen. I know about discharging a CRT - my question… Can I open up this monitor and adjust the display size?
Now…
I have a idea for a solid fix for the keyboard. I give it a 67% chance of success.
I disconnected the keyboard to force diagnostic mode. It just does this then the screen flashes and beeps every 15 seconds or so.
Well it was only surface rust so I just sanded it off and painted the whole inside. I’ll let it dry overnight while I work on the MB and keyboard tonight. Color came out almost a perfect match.
