Yesterday I went to an Apple store to get a new ink cartridge for my 8 year
old pre-USB Apple Color Stylewriter 1500.
There I was told that such cartridges (Apple Reorder No. M8041G/C) are no
longer manufactured ? ! ? (talking about built-in obsolescence, this
looks like a perfect example.

I just found out that the Apple cartridge M8041G/C is being remanufactured

Just for the record, one more favourable report on the dishwasher method...
After having produced crackling noises and weakening system sounds for some
weeks, my Classic II went completely mute.
The motherboard had the tell tale gooey stains, which disappeared after one
cycle in the dishwasher
It is very likely to be a capacitor gone, just like in your previous post
in regards to dead SE board with the stripes, these faults are all down to
the surface mount electrolytic caps, after spending the whole of last
saturday working on a Classic Logic board replacing the caps, C3 I think

3) One example of where a failed (open) cap *does* matter is when it
happens to be directly in the path of a signal (e.g., the audio). You'll
get weak, scratchy, or no sound if that cap goes. Cleaning will not help
that problem, of course -- you must replace

I second that!
Some interesting hints are to be found here , but were written for the SE30.

Replacing caps is one of the easier and more enjoyable soldering jobs on
the analogue boards...
Thanks for your excellent advice! I think I'll give it a try (as you say:
not so much to lose anyway).

For the infamous weak sound/no sound problem, though, the corresponding
cap has to be replaced, unfortunately. If you don't want the leaking cap
problem to recur, use a tantalum capacitor.

Hopefully you'll find one and get your old Mac up and
running again. If you are ever offered a bunch of Classics (or any
old Mac), just take them all. Last summer I had to fix

My Classic II has recently behaved pretty erratically, where sounds are
concerned. On start-up it will often produce a crackling noise, much like a
radio with bad speaker connections. The noise will typically disappear after
some 10 to 20 minutes. At other times, it is completely mute; i.e. no
I have a Classic II which I still regularly use, say three or four times a

Recently, on start up its speaker will emit a crackling noise, like the one

Hi Everyone,
Sorry to ask what i'm sure is an elementary question, but could someone

Mac Plus or SE, should I be running one instead of the other?

I have three problems, no idea whether they are linked or not:
(1) the internal clock has stopped; battery renewal didn't help.
(2) some control panels are out of order (e.g. 12 or 24 hour time indication

(3) start-up sound is dead; as a result of a gradual

Sorry about having confused you (English not being my mothertongue...).
I had the same problem on my Classic I, turned out to be the vertical
(memory) unit which was not well inserted... At least after pulling it out
and re-inserting it, the problem had gone.

My Classic II works fine, but has one annoying characteristic, viz. its
speaker will emit cracking noises every once in a while (something like
every 4 or 5 minutes, for a couple of seconds).
I already tried disconnecting all leads (except power :-), but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks

fill me in?
And as a subsidiary question: I tried to install 6.0.7 on the Classic II,
but that did not work. As I hate to give up 6.0.7 (which I love for its
speed and its minimal RAM requirements), I wonder if there is a way to
circumvent this.
Thanks!
