![Repairing some barn-find vintage Macs - Part 1 [LIVE]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qX9qUDFO4gw/hqdefault.jpg "Repairing some barn-find vintage Macs - Part 1 [LIVE]
After responding to a Facebook Marketplace ad, I found myself driving out to some semi-rural parts of western Sydney to check out some Macs in a barn. Many looked beyond repair, but a few had restoration potential.
Lets see if it was worth the trip!

Part 1 of the Macintosh IIfx build got almost all of the small, passive components in place, and I finished off the last few the following day. In this episode Ill be migrating the surface mount ICs from the old board to the new, so it will be a good demonstration of solder rework and surface mount soldering. Lets see how far I can get!
