On today’s video, I’m going outside my comfort zone and working on analog stuff. It’s a very broken Macintosh 128/512/Plus power supply/analog board. It was sent in by Tommy of the YouTube channel Arctic Retro as a broken part. He didn’t know what was wrong with it other than the machine wouldn’t power on. So let’s find the faults with this board and get it working again!
