Mac84: Original Apple iMac G3 20th Birthday Restoration
About this video
Mac84 restores an original 1998 Bondi Blue iMac G3 to factory condition for its twentieth birthday, with a look back at the machine, a few games and a speed test.
Good to know: The tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside too.
Why watch it
The all-in-one case holds the tube and the computer together, and the maker mixes history of the 1998 machine with the restoration, so expect background as well as bench work.
