1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Think about all the poor 22re ones

 

i believe they had more pep... only reason being they likely were running on all cylinders. LOL

 

I don't understand why people bust nuts over that motor when the 3rz is just better in every way and still just as reliable if not more

 

the 1/2gr, 2/3rz, 22r, 5vz, UZ motors... theyre all solid motors hell the GR motors will run on no oil for miles to the point where they shut off, put in in them and theyre usually fine

 

How hard are they to recap? Seems like it might be easy but tedious.

 

even i the dumb mechanic can manage to recap those old school circuit boards.

 

Yeah the old stuff is easy.


But apple is weird.

 

Stayed up last night so I could catch my new roommate sneaking a dog in the house. A dog not approved under the lease terms.

He’s been waiting until 1-2am to grab it from his truck thinking I haven’t noticed the smell. Or the dog sitting in his truck barking for hours every night.

My landlord might’ve approved this dog if the kid hadn’t been giving the other roommate and I so many issues with rent/utilities.

 

No fun. I wish you the best with that situation.

 

And I still haven't named her

 

Opening a PO Box while having a street address is step one on the pre homeless check list.
#2. Sleeping bag
#3. Tent
#4. Dog bowls

 

Pretty simple from the looks of it, they're all large through-hole components. This era of Apple was when they knew how to build computers.

My Apple II+ from 1978 has an entire repair manual full of the schematics and components with it too. It was a much different time.

 

Can anyone recognize what's going on with this 4R?

 

Lost its ass in a poker game

 

Yeah the entire electronics industry has shifted away from repairs to just replacing things. On some levels I’m ok with this - replacing bga components is not for the average solderer. But so much broken stuff could be repaired with less than $2 in parts.

 

what're you doing step-mechanic

 

Usually when someone says they're gonna paint your insides they don't mean red

 

I've been using barbed fittings this whole time.

 

I didn't get to pass it to see its front but it looked like a 2nd gen 4R that they welded and 3rd gen rear on... I just know I didn't have windows that wrapped up into the roof line on my 98 4R

 

Looks like a regular POS 2nd gen to me
