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. 🙏 SPECIAL THANKS to Kay Koba in Tokyo who made this video possible. • Kay's ROM-inator Kits: https://en.infinityproducts.co.jp/pro... • Kay's Blog is here: https://ameblo.jp/keroxiee1016/entry-... 🔎 INDEX 0:00 — Intro & Problem Description 1:24 — Opening the Case 2:33 — Adjustments Explained 5:20 — Plastic Tools & Rubber Gloves 7:21 — CAUTION & Warm-up 9:26 — Making Adjustments 18:18 —Thoughts about Performance 22:00 — Compared to LC575 23:14 — Special Thanks 25:02 — UPDATE: SE Reloaded Project 🛠️ THINGS TO BUY: • Torx T15 with LONG 12" (30cm) neck (to open vintage Macs): https://amzn.to/3HplzJb • Dual-lined Rubber Gloves for Electrical work (Amazon Japan): https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B... • 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 — What I have and show in my video, but sadly, it's Out of Stock as of May 2025): https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B... • HOZAN brand 5pc kit (Amazon Japan, in-stock in May 2025): https://bit.ly/3ZEYasZ • 8pc CRT Adjustment Tool kit (Amazon USA — Outrageous Price!): https://amzn.to/3FGA32P • 9pc CRT Adjustment Tool kit (Amazon USA — Discontinued): https://amzn.to/3vg8ZBB 💡 TIP: If you're able to buy from EBAY, check out their alignment tools here: https://www.ebay.com/shop/radio-align... 💵 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). 📚 REFERENCE • My screen size template for US Letter paper: https://bit.ly/3BJeJGc • My screen size template for A4 paper: https://bit.ly/3lGmgA8 • Service Source "Adjustments" section: https://bit.ly/3UVfyXz • Most of the Service Source adjustments on 1 page (see pg.101): https://bit.ly/3j5un7t • General advice about the rotatable Purity tabs on Sony Trinitron CRTs: https://bit.ly/2YOXu8t • Boot from a specific SCSI ID (CMD-OPT-Shift-DEL-ID#): https://bit.ly/3FZw7JB 💾 SOFTWARE • Display Service Utility: https://bit.ly/3j9XQgI • System Enabler 401 to boot CC from System 7.1 (not needed for 7.5): https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/appl... • JPEGview (view Jpg & Tiff files Full Screen): https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/jpeg... 🙏 SINCERE & HUMBLE THANKS TO: • Mauro Acciaccaferri (monthly channel contributor via Paypal) 💰SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL https://www.paypal.me/supportJDW 📺 SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/c/JDW11/?sub_c... 🎬 MY VIDEOS    / jdw26   #ColorClassic #SonyTrinitron #CRTalignment #JDW
