Mac Floppy Restoration Explained - Mac SE/30 Project Part 2
In this video we are going to do a detailed floppy restoration of an Apple SuperDrive 1.44MB Drive for the Mac SE/30 project. This thing is absolutely disgusting so it will take a bit of doing to get it properly restored!
A cap kit for the mainboard, power supply and analog board just arrived so well be starting on that project in the next day or two.

RavenWolf Retro Tech gives you new vintage tech videos regularly. Recent videos include the examination of a pair of Mac SE/30s from a garage sale, one of which is the subject of this restoration series.
We have also completed a Commodore 64 with a psychedelic problem, a 1984 Osborne Executive unboxing and restoration, a 1970s HP 45 scientific calculator restoration and several videos repairing and restoring Commodore 64s and a dead 1541 disk drive. At RavenWolf Retro Tech we restore and explore vintage technology.
Now that we are moved into the new shop, the frequency of videos is increasing. I’ll keep putting out videos as I can but I promise to focus on higher quality videos that don’t waste your time over frequent, low effort projects. I currently have about half a dozen videos in various states including a series on this Mac SE/30 restoration, part 2 of the Osbourne Executive Restoration (I know, its about time) and a video on Commodore 64 video output options.
