Re: LaserWriter Select 310 problems
I think we need to delegate the writing of reviews to those people who actually own or have serviced the printers. I can help with the layout and if there is a site available that won't blast us with add ware or spy ware that we can use then that is where it should be. I think once it is launched we should put it's url in a tag-line on the list's email (with their permission). If we are truly creative we could also add reviews and specs on the various cards available for the older macs and apple computers... -Original Message- From: Vintage Macs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marten van de Kraats Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 10:09 To: Vintage Macs Subject: Re: LaserWriter Select 310 problems How odd. I thought it would be a normal network printer, considering it did postscript according to apple's specifications page. What maddness drove them to build that thing? LEM has all these nice pages about all the different Macintosh models ever build. We need something like that for Apple printers too, so we can brand this one a road apple. Marten I sure wish someone had point out its oddities to me before I had bought it! That is a great idea! Chuck Maybe we should just do it. Any volunteers? I suppose we could best offer the content to Lowend Mac. I'll ask Dan what he thinks about it. I guess we must limit ourselves to the Apple printers because otherwise there would come no end to the amount of reviews we should have to write. Any ideas?

Re: Mac IIcx Clock Problems
Just having good suspision of the clock chip would be enough to replace it for me... If you have a field strenght meter or some other way to check the crystal on the clock circuit might reveal that the crystal is the culprit also... perhaps replace both to be safe.

Re: How to remove (tobacco) smoke odor?
I have worked as an Engineer for years and swear by 409! It is pretty electronic friendly and will work against the smoke problem. You should soak and thoroghly flush any filters found with 409 and then plenty of water. Let dry completly befor reassembly. No need to rush things!

From: Jack Countryman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I got a mac that I'm playing with, but the odor of tobacco smoke that seems embedded in it gets to me after a while. Anyone know of a way to purge the odor? I presume (recalling a chemistry class from long ago) that this is something that gets into the organic parts of the mac...perhaps the plastic parts...especially the case? I don't think plastic absorbs smoke smells. There is probably a film on it however (ugh... how can people smoke?) that you should be able to remove with 409 cleaner or something like that. Also Freebreze (sp?) is advertised to remove smoke smells. More likely, however, the majority of the smell is comming from the dust that accumulates in the Mac and absorbs the smoke crud. Take it apart and use a good vacuum to get rid of all the dust. Also, check for any filters around fans that may have trapped it. I have found that floppy drives are especially powerful dust attractors. Steve -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
