Expansion Plans for 2016 - Macintosh, C64s & More

Many new services are on the horizon for RetroFixes.  The workshop size is increasing  Oct-Nov,  nearly 10x extra square footage. My websites focus has primarily been retro gaming consoles but I plan to expand. New services will be offered for the retro computing scene. You can visit the store page here and signup for future notifications.

Early Macintosh & C64 restoration and repair services will be offered in early 2016. Prices will vary with complexity and capacitor count.  This includes MAC Logic Boards, PSU and Analog Board.







Diagnostic Floppy BootDisc will be available for most Mac Formats. 400k 800k & 1.44mb.
You'll be able to boot and run test software before choosing to re-cap the motherboard.
Keyboard, Floppy Drive and Mouse cleaning & repair services will also be offered.

Restoring the boards within the aging MACs is a great preventive maintenance measure. Failing and leaking caps can destroy motherboard traces and ICs. Replacing the caps and cleaning the boards will preserve the MAC for future generations.

Most Customers will be able to remove the boards and ship them here. Otherwise shipping rates are much higher for 20lb Macs vs 1lb motherboard. Removal guides are available on YouTube and many other sites. 

 Old capacitors will be removed and solder pads will be fully cleaned. Board will be checked for capacitor leakage and cleaned.  Anti corrosion solution will be added to ports, jacks and slots.
