Russell, I have a slightly different suggestion for your parts...The green wire in my CC connects to the braid that you also found floating in the case. The braid connects by a a connector and a spring across the curved part of the CRT. It seems to just rest on the surface of the CRT (but held tight by the spring).
Here's a picture of where it connects on the top... http://homepage.mac.com/wtnb/images/033.jpg Here's a picture where you can see the braid running down the left side of the CRT (just). You can almost see where the green wire connects... http://homepage.mac.com/wtnb/images/030.jpg You should find a connector underneath the CRT, similar to the top connector, to connect the spring/braid to. HTH. Scott. -----Original Message----- From: Russell Holt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 4 March 2003 6:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: identifying a cable inside a color classic... Hi all, I bought a color classic on ebay for nostalgic reasons ('twas my first mac). I found a PDF service manual online and opened it up to clean it out. To my surprise, laying across the analog board was a spring attached two two looped lengths of wire that look like picture hanging wire, not connected to anything. ( I'm not familiar with the internals of compact macs.) What is this? In addition, there is a green wire with a clip coming from metal box the end of the yoke (I think that's the right term) not connected to anything. I see this wire (I think) in the service manual as something to disconnect before removing the analog board, but can't tell what it's supposed to be connected to. Any clues? Thanks.
