Buying from Nissan

What is going on with parts dot nisssanusa dot com?

I've been ordering from them for a while, avoiding shipping charges by having parts sent directly to local dealerships. But now when logging on, none of the dealerships I've used before are delivery options! Going direct to their websites it either says to call the parts department directly or to fill out a generic online form.

Apple instructions for upgrading a IIe to a IIgs

When the IIgs was released, there was an option to purchase an upgrade kit to convert a IIe to a IIgs. From what I can tell, the official method was to take the IIe to an Apple authorized service facility, where they would

  • Swap out the motherboard
  • Replace or modify the metal base plate
  • Upgrade the internals of the power supply
  • Modify the rear panel to support new ports (ADB?)

Are the original Apple instructions for this procedure available anywhere on the web? Apparently when the IIe Platinum was released, there were some additional provisions to support the upgrade. That suggests that another version of the instructions would have to exist?

My collection includes a IIe Platinum that has been upgraded (with an internal 20mb Winchester drive too). I'm curious about what the changes were to the original system.

Value of a Mac Plus

I have the opportunity to locally acquire a Mac Plus with what appears to be most of the original box and contents. Also included is a “Kensington System Saver Mac” fan.

No idea if the unit works or not. That answer wouldn’t come unless I acquire it, then open, clean, and visually inspect for obvious repairs.

Assuming keyboard and mouse are included, what is a value for the system in US dollars?

Someone had a rough day

Saw this on Facebook. A guy I know runs a towing business and this is what he had to deal with yesterday.
