It's the Power Macintosh G3 All-In-One, and it is similar to the first-generation G3 iMac,
except it has a bland beige case with a perforated white top that looks like a dental molar,
hence the nickname "G3 Molar." It also has a case of elephantiasis, compared to the
35-pound G3 iMac with similar specs. Go here to learn more (check out the 266 MHz version
too):<http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g3/stats/powermac_g3_233_aio.html>.
Thank you for the link, I see that it was an Education only model which
is probably why I am not familiar with it.
Yes, as with any cathode ray tube powered by a flyback transformer, safe CRT
discharge practices should be observed. My point is that it is possible to
replace just the FBT. I would assume that any prudent person who's a member of
this list would be aware of the dangers of imprudently playing around with
high-voltage devices.
I agree, but better safe then sorry. Especially since LCDs have almost
completely replaced CRTs there may be some that have forgotten about the
risk, or have never opened a CRT before.
