ℹ️ GIVEAWAY DETAILS
• PRIZE: A FREE Mac SE motherboard KIT that must be soldered & assembled by the winner, without any direct assistance from me, although I have an SE Reloaded video series that walks you through the assembly here: bit.ly/3XCMDGY
• PURPOSE: To spread awareness of the fantastic DIY Macintosh SE Reloaded motherboard project and encourage vintage computer enthusiasts and electronic hobbyists to try it.
• WINNER SELECTION: Winners are chosen by an automated Comment picker that selects one Comment at random under this video only.
• SHIPPING to the winner is paid for by me (ONLY to addresses serviced by Japan Post EMS), but I will NOT pay for RETURNS, nor do I accept any liability nor do I offer any compensation if you burn yourself or otherwise cause harm during the course of your building/soldering the project together.
• WARNING! The motherboard kit you assemble cannot be used without a mostly functional Macintosh SE computer with working power supply, CRT, analog board, etc. Why? Because the kit is a motherboard PCB that allows you to move some components from a bad motherboard to the new board. The KIT includes most of the components which are brand new, but some parts must be extracted from a damaged SE motherboard.
• REQUIRED PARTS that are NOT INCLUDED in the KIT (1-6 below):
1. PRAM Battery. Holder & lock included, but not the battery itself. It's a 3.6V ½ AA battery found on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/3yt3CCf
2. PLASTIC MOUNTS for the SW1, SW2 programmer's switches. Two brand new switches are included, but you will need to desolder the old switches from your bad SE motherboard so you can use the 2 plastic switch-mounts. Or can you 3D print your own using an STL file from ALXLAB: bit.ly/3p0V1kw
3. Metal Bar/Bracket (shown in my video)
4. L2, L3 Toroidal Coils -- Desolder them from your battery bombed SE motherboard. Also note that Philippe Astier (iPhil64 on TinkerDifferent) used these with success: bit.ly/3Wj3huH

5. Five ICs* (only 2 require desoldering):
• “GLU” chip U9D, p/n: 341-0538-A
• “ADB” chip U10C, p/n: 342-0440-B
• HI (OLD: 342-0352-A or NEW: 342-0701) & LO (OLD: 342-0353-A or NEW: 342-0702) ROM chips U6D, U7D (2pcs) - socketed, no desoldering required!
• “IWM” U8D * chip: p/n: 344-0043A or 344-0041-B (no 1.44MB floppy drive support) or “SWIM” chip p/n: 344-0062 DIP IC - socketed, no desoldering required!
* See bottom of Page-4 in my BOM for details of how to source or make replacements: bit.ly/3EhUD9v
6. Macintosh SE computer, typically with a battery-bombed or water-damaged motherboard.
⚠️ WARNING! If you can't source the required parts that are NOT INCLUDED, you can't test your motherboard build after you finish it!
