Photos: Inside the Apple Macintosh Classic

By Mark Kaelin on 07 July 2008

A CRT display requires more power than you might think. We are looking at capacitors with ratings of 250 and 220 volts. Discharging either one of those would hurt.

    These photos bring back many memories for me. I had a Mac Classic which I bought as a first year uni student in 1991. I think I paid almost $3,000 for it and at the time Apple was running a finance deal where you could pay it off for the price of a Pizza ($15) a week. It was a great machine and was a worthy replacement for my Apple IIC circa 1986. Both machines stayed in the cupboard at my parent's house until about 2002. They both started first go shortly after they were ceremonially put on the nature strip for hard rubbish night.
