Wow, that's rather amazing.

maaaan that was lucky

i hope you kept it in the plastic thats like the best find you could have

Nice! But an unboxing video would be awesome!!

You stole that from someone else's comment

I literally just watched that video

@@ikipling4730 thats what gachas do

I remember a video of a C64 that sat out in a field for a decade , that was restored to working condition , it even had an ant colony inside of it.

Ikr

yeah it looked perfect.

I was going to comment something along these lines. If possible always try to use something "less dense" than what you're scraping. Don't they make plastic screw drivers for use with working with conductive things?

​@@lunsj I think you might be thinking of Insulated screwdrivers, which actually are metal, oddly enough. they just have a non-conductive coating on them.

Same thought here. They make plastic razor blades that can fit in standard razor blade holders. Or automotive interior plastic pry tools would probably work too.

LGR uses a specialty tool. A plastic scraper used by car detailers that can remove stripes and decals. I use one for my stuff and it works on 90% of everything I've tried it on.

Yeah, definitely cringing at those keys but other than that he did a good job.

That was my immediate thought. I bet it eliminated any potential buzzing noises.

But why didn't they put it on the other side?

zUltra why would they

@@Noplanman98789 Oh sorry, I wanted to say "Why didn't they put another one on the other side?"

came here for this comment

I would have 3d printed a cover or something

I'd use duct tape and a sharpie.

put an Apple sticker over it an it's done

I’d have filled it with body filler sanded it then spray painted it and covered it with a monitor at all times lmao

I would have cut the entire currently painted portion and put acrylic on it

Same here..

Also I was convinced that was David saying DANG! instead of Bender saying THERE!

Almost died laughing

@@charlesdoesmore5488 that's the point

Yeah, it was a bit too loud.

Lol

next up, taking footage of every dump he takes on the toilet while editing the vids

I've had pretty good luck with SEM paints. They make paints for auto interior plastics, and since so many vehicles have grey or charcoal interiors, there might even be an off the shelf paint color that's closer to the case color.

I like the two-tone look - think it looks better then the original plain gray - wonder what doing the recessed area around the keyboard in the same black would look like.

once dust settles into the texture itll match up a lot better.

You can get it mixed at Lowe's too in a quart. It's a single stage enamel. They can shoot that with the gun to get the color. You can buy a plastic additive to make it adhere ...

@ Ray Peterson, I came here to say this, a good auto body paint shop will get you very very close and it's well worth the time to seek one out. I'm very lucky that I have a good local independent I can go to.

Bruh

main trouble is I grew up on that old stuff ,now I am "unwanted" and "unloved"

Yeah -- that's what I thought also.

Bob Woggle Maybe an air sealing gasket, so the pressure/vacuum from the fan doesn't leak out/in under the fan.

@@johnfrancisdoe1563 if you're using a rubber band on a PC that'll grow old & sticky after a few years, I don't think you're thinking that far in-depth about your issues XD Vibration mitogation is more likely.

@Bob Woggle That was my first thought too, but what John Francis Doe said also makes a lot of sense.

@swytchblayd You're quite right, but there's an often cited principle in engineering: "Temporary solutions tend to become permanent over time".

But the monitor sits in that place :v

El_Nicovw321 buy a smaller monitor then or just sit it on the side lmao

those were the most cursed words i have ever seen

@@richiie8024 like a 15 cm monitor?

Another thing, well its two, the dust and if the cup falls, you know.

Yeah, but that's not cheap.

@@brainfulify No more expensive than from a DIY shop, at most $2 to $3 more :/

This. Yeah, any half decent paint shop (and even some hardware stores like Ace Hardware) will have a scanner thing that will scan the object's color and tell the technician what amounts of what color to mix, and it'll be perfect. It's not even expensive, really.

It's not terribly expensive, either. I had a spray can custom filled with automotive paint to match my car for $12 about ten years ago. (I just wanted to match an accessory to the body color- metallic paints are really hard to blend in, but that's not what I was doing.) Admittedly they had a database for my car's paint code, but a decent paint store has people who know paint. They'll know what base to use, and have the tools to scan the color and mix pigments.

Except that every chip has MS on it too.

@@rvd107 WOOOSH!!!

and also to the 6 people that liked his comment WOOOSH!!!!

Saw that... :-)...

@@rvd107 It could be possible that one of the owners replaced a bad chip, and bought the replacement from a seller that wasn't legally allowed to sell them with the name Microsoft on it.

@@andymerrett Wow, you try to give a little back story to why "Bell" was there in the first place and you get labeled as "daft". My local elementary school had these black apple II computers. It's not a new joke.

Anders Enger Jensen Hey Anders!

How can you not scream, “Where will you put the monitor?????” when this vid starts?

13:50 nice song man!

Ahhh Futurama nice vibes

BENDER PART IS AWSOME

Nice detail, thanks.

I have several of those machines. But some of the ones I got didn't have them. Not sure if they were removed, or never had them.

I worked on a base back in the early days, to get around the computer requirement the local Altair would take the fully assembled computer , and remove 1 ic (usually the 8080 cpu)from a socket, then sell it as a kit. when they delivered it the tech would insert the chip and then the "kit" was finished.

So basically cheating?

Was happy to hear him say he went with neither paint

Haha! Good one! :)

I found it that way too! I agree, he has a really good and edutaining(?).

Yeah, plus the fact that the original user didn't know that it would be collectible in 30 years time. None of us did.

In all honesty it probably a necessity to keep the thing usable during the summer months of the year. If that was used for Schools did not have any ACs, in some time ambient was upwards of 80 degrees in our computer lab. All of the computers had something similar. the fan was just on the side though.

Yup, honestly I would have modified the hole to fit in a better, smaller fan that can be fit into one of the circuits in the system (probably via an expansion slot). Much easier than trying to match colors

I just stuck a box fan to my Macintosh plus with zip ties then soldered it onto the board. I used "Macintosh Repair and Upgrade Secrets" to help with the mod. These mods may look ugly but it keeps parts from failing very badly

Could I message/email/call you to inquire about the computers if you are interested in selling them? I'm a highschool student interested in retro tech and I've just recently got into antique computers. Best wishes, Al

Yeah, always use something as soft as possible to remove crap. Fingernails, maybe a plectrum.

@@mjouwbuis Guitar pick maybe?

John

Yeah... the extra ventilation provided by that fan will probably prove to have been rather necessary, but whoever installed it chose about the worse possible location and did it in the most cack-handed way possible. That hole looks almost like they used tinsnips to hack it out, and the screws have just been dug straight into the plastic..

Apple only made decent computers in the early 1980's. Now they just make proprietary, overpriced toys for Millennial hipsters.

Good point!

Worth keeping in mind that the Apple ][ cost $1298 with 4K RAM and $2638 with 48K RAM in 1977 (without a drive, screen or any other accessory). That's $5417 and $11008 in today's money. At those prices, I'd expect the device to be serviceable as well. That said, Apple did not have the reputation of making high quality products at the time. In the '70s, they were an underdog and in the '80s, they made expensive and sometimes advanced machines of dubious reliability and build quality. The Apple III for example had extremely poor ventilation, which could cause overheating that resulted in chips dislodging out of their sockets. Apple's *official* solution and instruction to service technicians? To drop the machine, hoping that the impact would get the chips back into place...

@@no1DdC I was born in 1977, so I wasn't around to see Apple's beginning. But I do remember using Apple II computers at school when I was a little kid in the 80's and I loved it. Recently, I've become interested in vintage computers and I bought an Apple II Plus. (Now I have two of them and a IIe). My impression of Apple's early computers is based on how they seem to be physically very well built and easy to work on. The entire computer can be taken apart with a phillips screwdriver, and pretty much all the chips are socketed. It just looks like it was made to be tinkered with and customized. It's a computer made for intelligent electronics hobbyists. And of course there's the fact that a 35 year old computer still works flawlessly. I haven't had any problems with any of my Apple II's. Now compare that to Apple computers NOW...they're proprietary, dumbed-down locked black boxes that are made to spoon feed "apps" to users who have no interest in customizing or tinkering at all with the computer. In fact, Macs pretty much discourage it. Apple went from building computers for tech savvy hobbyists...to making overpriced toys for people who need everything spoon fed to them.

Aerosynthis A former coworker of mine gave me three old Apple II machines that he found on the side of a road in someone’s trash. They then sat in my basement for about 10 years. A few years ago I cleaned them up and tested them, and despite a few missing keys, all three powered on and were functional. I love my Macbook, but it never would have survived that same journey.
