Hello Patreon friends! I found a Rev B iMac G3, which is PERFECT for a  super secret upgrade that I might spoiler in this here bonus video...  It's not totally happy though. Let's check it out!

Is that the upgrade card that adds firewire and upgrades the CPU?

Being an Australian, an Apple employee and live at Bondi, I can tell you it is pronounced bond-eye. It is a hard I.

I know it likely isn’t but I am hoping it is the Voodoo 2 card that was made for these

I liked the bit at 0:50 when you grabbed the D

This makes me wanna dig out my Rev B from storage

My blueberry 17" Studio Display started doing this a few years ago. Never got around to try to fix it, though.

It'll be interesting to see what the flickering issue is. I have a slot-loading G3 that I wanted to play around with a few months ago, but the screen was snapping pretty badly and I didn't want to fry something so I just unplugged it. If those non-replacement repairs are simple enough, I might try them out on mine.

Your teaser was enough to get me to subscribe - we had a Rev B, so this brought back many memories. Most of them happy!

Haha, love that it's "most" of them happy 😂

I'm hoping it's one of two quick fixes that should be in the video on Friday. Otherwise, replacing the flyback is tough mainly because you need to find the exact same one. (AFAIK)

Fantastic! Really appreciate these sneak peeks.

This iMac holds a special place in my heart. Apple was circling the drain at the end of the '90s and my parents were considering switching the family computer to a more economical Windows PC. When Steve Jobs unveiled the original iMac, it was proof positive that Apple and the Mac were *cough* "Still Alive". We ended up getting one. Later in its life the optical drive wouldn't run if it was too cold. We had a hair dryer next to the computer to rapidly heat it up and get it going. Totally normal?
