Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh Restoration

We recently had a pretty great piece come in for restoration. A TAM, a twentieth anniversary Macintosh. We did a full restoration, minus its power supply (owners preference).

What was done

  • Replaced two headers on Bose board to eliminate buzzing
  • Crimped new connectors for speaker
  • Recapped Bose board
  • Recapped logic board with polymer and polymer tantalum capacitors with appropriate derating
  • Recapped power distribution board with polymer and polymer tantalum capacitors with appropriate derating
