The original goop is not really expensive. Manufacturers don't create any unnecessary costs, they are trying to profit after all.

It is not an "encapsulant" or potting compound, that would be a different material for a different purpose. It also is not a 2-component material.

As for post-process cleaning, the industry trend is towards aqueous cleaners—not very practical for bench repair purposes.

Dismantled the QS today. I noticed the below on what appears to be the audio circuit sm electrolytic caps. None of the other caps on the board show this. Any ideas?

Apologies, this is near the audio section but not sure if these relate to the audio circuit!

Nice one! Is it alright if I borrow it and put it on the page? :)
As I mentioned above, the current logo for the new theme is a work in progress and focus has shifted somewhat.

I like the new Layout of the page....

as someone who has been in the branding game for over 20years can we keep with the apple branding? It'll look pretty clean...

This is so beautiful and professional, thank you for making this! :)

Is it fine if I voice a few nitpicks, though? I think the "Lives" bit aesthetically looks great, but also it is a "fading away" grey color, as if the "lives" bit is actually "dying out", and no emphasis on it, although it should be an exclamation, like the expression "It's alive!!! It LIVES!!!". Is it just me? Maybe some other hue, or color, or pattern of colors, would work better?

Would it also be possible to add a space between "Mac" and "OS"? Apple themselves stylize it that way.

But wow, seeing a pro of this field at work, it's really another level of polish entirely. :) I generally have no eyes for this level of work.

Welcome!

Realmz, eh? For years I meant to upload to the Macintosh Garden many Realmz goodies I have that I think are no longer found elsewhere. It's just that there are so many files, that editing the Realmz page takes many, many hours to sort them all out.

You can't go wrong with those two games!

This seems like an amazing program, but the 1.01 serial doesn't work w/ 1.03 and I can't find 1.01.  Does anyone have this working?

First idea here would be to check and clean the connection / connector from the speaker to the mobo
(As it doesn't really occur until you place some different demand upon it, until after the initial boot.)
AND you might PM @Borgmac - to see if he ever did solve his hiss problem.
And that thread you noted, also has other useful possibilities to try. ;)

Hardware / QS 867 Rev A with speaker 'hiss'
« Last post by Jacques on May 17, 2024, 12:34:52 PM »
I've noticed my QS boots with a nice quiet internal speaker but after anything trigger an audio sounds in OS 9.2.2 or OSX  I start getting a hiss, like a static sound. Another user had the same issue but I cannot see if there was any resolution to this. https://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=6444.0

As soon as I plug in a set of headphones / lineout to to rear the hiss stops...there is no hiss on the external speakers.

I can often try and play with the volume slider and make the hiss disappear, but not very frequently. A reboot will silence things again. I cleaned the mainboard when I first got the machine, checked connections, nothings seems out of place. The speaker dome is slightly indented but I suspect a lot of QS speakers are like that.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
