New video! In the second part of the series, I'm trying to resurrect the Apple Macintosh Performa 630 Power Supply I found to have lots of leaky capacitors in the previous episode.

New video! I'm starting to restore a very interesting Apple Macintosh Performa 630 in the DOS Compatible variant. It has both a 68040 Mac and an IBM compatible 486 PC in one machine. In the first episode of this series, I try to make it safe to run by replacing capacitors on the main board and in the power supply. More to come!

New video! I'm trying to fix an Amiga 1200 that was severely damaged during a previous recapping attempt.

In den letzten Reparaturen haben wir einige defekte Kondensatoren als Ursache ausfindig gemacht. Wie erkenne ich kaputte Kondensatoren? Was kann ich messen und was nicht? Was muss ich beim Ersetzen beachten?
