It's always fun to see one of my old BlueSCSI bracket designs pop up! Nice work on this Classic!

I just started a Mac Classic restoration last weekend. Glad to see you doing the same things I am. Working on analog board recaps next. Then on to testing the HDD and replacing it with a BlueSCSI.

Great video! Definitely do a recap of the Analog board as well - 100% of them are leaking now days as well and they can do some super bad damage to the board even though they “seem” to be working - I suspect most of that green in the plug is actually coming up the wires from the AB

It's amazing how much old tech is dead or dying from old caps
