Grex Hardware Item 17: What's wrong with this MacIntosh, and where you get it fixed best?
Entered by mistik on Thu Oct 31 19:36:13 UTC 1991:

Which place/business is the best for getting an old mac fixed. Screen is
compressed to one horizontal line, and floppy runs. Probably power supply,
if it is the power supply, is there a common cure for it other than taking
it to a repair shop?

I dunno. That sounds like an improvement, to me. :)

You mean an old not running mac is a good mac?

Sounds like you have a problem with your vertical sweep circuit.  Often
its a bad solder connection on the fly-back, but I'm not sure if that
would have anything to do with the vert. sweep.  Can't hurt to have a 
look. (I take it you have a 128 to plus)

RE #2 - your staement presumes the existence of such a thing as a "good mac"

  Moustafa, if I haven't responded to this within a few more days, send
me mail to tickle my brain.  I'm doing some stuff for a mac person who
would be sure to know where to go.

I would be willing to have a look at your Mac. if your not in a real
big hurry to get it back.  I charge nothing for looking.  What model
Mac do you have?  Mail me if your interested.
