and bad news so far.
Good news is that every computer so far that was working is still working after
being recapped and also my Mac classic II is now working! So I increased my
vintage Mac collection by one :D
Bad
Yep, everything happens except the image in the middle of the floppy disk. I
get the chord sound, mouse in the upper left, and gray screen.
The quadra and powermac 6100 need hard drives, so I ordered them for them. The
one machine works fine so I needed the drive anyways. If this computer that

Does it make the start-up sound? At boot, you should get a start-up chord
or bong, then the gray screen, then the mouse cursor should appear, in the
upper left corne
could you check it with a meter just to be sure its got voltage..
with leaky caps odd things can happen.

After washing it it still only shows the gray screen.
I got two SCSI 50 pin hard drives coming in the mail and I am in the process of
getting capacitors, the 6500 post is about that. So I guess we will see what
happens after those.
I will also have two more Mac classics as I have some of them t

Hmm, well it worked once but didn't see the hard drive during installation.

It looks like the guy had the quadra top case on the power Mac and the power
Mac case on the quadra. I'll just quick switch them and it won't be a problem
anymore.
So now we are talking about a quadra 660av that will only show the gray screen
and mouse.

I do hear the startup bong sound, got to love that classic Mac sou
Removed both ram sticks and it booted the same way, gray screen with the mouse
cursor but nothing else.

Hi again :)
Along with the quadra I got, I obtained a 6100/60 Mac that is also giving me
issues. When it boots it only shows a gray screen, but without the question
