Macintosh Color Classic: CRT Adjustments
I show my newly acquired Macintosh Color Classic and how to adjust the CRT display. I briefly compare with an LC575 and close with an SE Reloaded project update. This is the first of several videos I intend to make on the Color Classic.

🛠️ THINGS TO BUY:
• Torx T15 with LONG 18″ (46cm) neck (to open vintage Macs): https://amzn.to/2ScAskx
• Dual-lined Rubber Gloves for Electrical work (Amazon Japan): https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00J6Z7JF4/
• High Voltage Rubber Gloves (Amazon USA): https://amzn.to/30ivzxN
NOTE: I think these high voltage gloves are probably too thick to be usable for a Mac CRT application. Even dishwashing gloves are better than nothing at all. Unfortunately, the gloves I purchased from Amazon Japan (which I feel are just right), aren’t sold on Amazon USA.
• Goot brand 6pc CRT Adjustment Tool kit (Amazon Japan): https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0036RJ5GE/
• 6pc CRT Adjustment Tool kit (Amazon USA): https://amzn.to/3jojfmD
NOTE: I’ve not used this kit, but it seems like a very similar version, but perhaps a slightly lesser quality, of the Goot kit I bought on Amazon.
• 9pc CRT Adjustment Tool kit (Amazon USA): https://amzn.to/3vg8ZBB
NOTE: Quality of this kit seems on par with my Goot kit, but comes at a higher price than the 6pc kit.
💵 NOTE: Your price on Amazon (US only) is the same even if you don’t click the « amzn.to » Affiliate links above, but if you do kindly click and purchase within 24 hours, Amazon may pay me a small commission on all qualifying items in your Cart (even items not linked above).
