vintage

Went to an estate sale this weekend and found this box in the corner.... very cool! Figured id post it here in case any collectors are looking...

Very little information is available on it, but apparently it was made by Apple France in 1989. The case is made of steel, the movement is quartz, and the Apple logo is engraved in the dial. The watch is marked with the engraving “Full steel design by Loret & Estevez”, but upon researching Loret...

Noticed there isn’t a forum for this ancient version macOS. I like collecting vintage software; it’s a hobby I’ve been practicing for some time now. Software has pretty much become a fully digital process with online app stores. But there was a time where there was a tangible experience for...

iPhone Fire What surprises me here was Apple’s response to not use iPhones after 7 years. I know many people who use older phones, do they all risk fire? BTW - the phone was being charged with the original Apple charger.

I recently picked up a few 15 inch MacBook Pro's that were heading to e-waste and one had a recovery for OS X Mavericks, version 10.9. My official journey with OS X started with Yosemite, prior to that prior experiences were running Tiger on a Hackintosh. Mavericks on the retina display is...

It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I'll try to keep it short - I am looking to purchase a Macintosh Quadra 900 or Quadra 950 - I was awfully close to getting one on eBay earlier, but I wound up getting outbid with 7 seconds to go. Suppose that's the game. Anyways, next cheapest...

Hey, I just wanted to show a bit of my PowerBook/ MacBook Pro collection so far! I'm missing the Retina and Butterfly models and still looking to add them soon. Left to Right: 2001 15" PowerBook G4 Titanium, 2004 15" PowerBook G4 Aluminum, 2006 MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo, 2010 MacBook Pro 15"...

For a little while, I’ve been working on a project over on the PowerPC Macs forum, collecting serial prefixes on Apple gear going back to at least 1983 and making a list of where Apple hardware components were assembled. I’ve been doing so mostly to have as many known Apple assembly...

I recently found my old TiBook while at my parent's house over the holidays and thought I'd grab some shots of it along side my new M1 Max MacBook Pro. While internally, the differences are night and day, externally, it's eery how similar they are, especially with the new design's callbacks to...

Hi all, I'm note entirely sure if this is the right place for this, I've been having trouble finding places to ask about this stuff other than reddit. Anyways, my Apple II GS has recently developed an issue where the keyboard has stopped working entirely. I have no clue what could have caused...

Hello everyone, I have an iMac classified as obsolete/vintage by Apple and so I had to fix it by myself. The problem was a frozen screen on the startup (grey window with the apple, vertical stripes and weird colours) that has been partially solved with a reballing on the graphic card (AMD Radeon...

Hi everyone, This year I plan to release a couple of new games for 68K macs and I'm starting out with a First Person Dungeon Crawler for the the Mac Plus and newer compact macintoshes. The game has been in development for the past 4 months and I'm aiming for a possible release date in late...

Hi everyone, I have been looking to find the original screen saver apple used in stores back in 2007 if it ever existed. As you see I wanna use it on the original iPhone running 1.1.4 that i got, currently using a self made one using the iPhone hello ad and the quick tour videos apple had up in...

Hi. I'm looking for an old 2D Mac game my brother and I used to play. There were 2 players on the screen at one time, where each player was a circle with a cannon. The circle traveled in a direction on a predetermined track, and the only movement you could do was to reverse direction. You...

Hi Everyone, First post long time lurker, Long story short i Just got a hold of 4 old Macs + a monitor: - G3 Beige Desktop - Powermac 7200/200 - Mac Quadra 605 - MAc LC Apple CRT monitor I booted up the G3 by itself and the light came on and it seemed to boot fine. Booted the monitor by...

I have a Apple IIc Monitor, Monitor Stand, Keyboard, Image Writer, and Scribe Printer. About 3 of the boxes have never been opened but some have been opened but not taken out of the box. The equipment has the original plastic wrap/styrofoam and have never been used. I’ve done a little research...

Will a Macbook Air work without a battery while plugged in with its AC adapter?

What's the value on this? Can't find another one with the signed documents like this one has. Woz limited signed edition, certificate of authenticity, and a letter from Woz. https://www.ebay.com/itm/302781602744 Thanks!

I’ve been getting the vintage hardware itch recently and aside from picking up some old PowerPC hardware (PowerBook G4 A1025 1Ghz, Apple Cinema Display HD 23”, Apple Pro Mouse) that I used to own (oh, the OS 9 nostalgia!), I’ve recently put together the exact same PC rig I used to have back in...

Macintosh PowerBook G3 Wallstreet "PDQ" What an absolute beauty of a Mac! I had a pleasant surprise in the mail on my Friday afternoon to find delivery of this near perfect example of a September 1998 Macintosh PowerBook G3 Wallstreet Series II or "PDQ". 233Mhz PowerPC 750 "G3" with 512K L2...
