Thanks to for sponsoring this video.
And special thanks to Lili the 3 legged cat.
I decided to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first Macintosh by finding the oldest Mac for sale near me. I came across this Mac Plus at a local auction, and after a fierce bidding…

Lovely video – your production quality is excellent. Well done! Another Mac saved.
5:56 – RARE!!!1! Prototype SIGNED by STEVE JBOS!! $800 firm. No lowball offers. I know what I got
Few things I thought I'd mention:
The 4.5V battery holds the clock, mouse speed, cache and I believe a few other things.
The Plus can read from 1.44MB disks, but only when they're formatted as 800K (double density)
Also, the 128K and 512K can do networking, they just need an adapter for their serial ports!
Awesome restore work!
oh no. if you waited a few more days you could have added this to #Marchintosh (prolly still can. because its near enough)
I have an ibook gemini that needs work to its a touch screen ibook made by a 3rd party company.
Awesome job – it looks fantastic! Love these old macs. I really like your wireless AppleTalk setup. Ive got to get something like that going as well.
Really nice restoration! Is this a platinum model? I’ve never seen one so white! Retrobrite?
Looks like the screen geometry is off.
These things are built like tanks really. Other than the Rifas, there’s not a whole lot that needs replacing, at least compared to the later models. At least the bad RAM can be easily replaced.
The capacitor replacement was 100% unnecessary. Not all capacitors go bad, especially ones from the 80s.
Great job on the restauration. Turned out good as new. 🙂
3:16 gettin all Biff Tannen on that mac
Nice restoration! I've still got to sort out the flyback on my Plus' analogue board – on yours, it might be worth increasing the v-Size as the image is a little bit letterboxed?
Great job!
Nicely done, always enjoy a mac repair video.
Really nice restoration!
