I&#39;ve replaced the heat pad, but it&#39;s still running quite hotter than the Pismo (and at 100Mhz less… the Pismo has a decent heat sink compared to this, but still), so I wonder if there&#39;s some heat paste between the CPU and the sink that needs replacing.<br/><br/>However I don&#39;t see any obvious way to remove it, and I don&#39;t want to force it and rip the CPU out of the board. #MARCHintosh #RetroApple<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/184/719/191/322/091/original/9a6dae6f8fd5f0a5.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-03-06T23:02:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9fa7ywd3525hpma9ucjarggylewz3nh2xemswy4hsyy6w5cvmymczyz5dnkl75sc0hvd7y2umw50379c9rlrkukaqskmucqa2lydegasmst8aptp So I&#39;m trying Marathon Infinity (the original version, not modern ones) network game on two Macs, and the game gets out of sync almost immediately.

At least two companies serviced this system during that period.<br/><br/>Why is this a problem? On equipment this old, maintenance can’t be learned on books. There are decades of institutional knowledge that needs to be passed down from the more experienced staff to new hires.

In 2018, one of the cars derailed. The wheel flanges were so worn out they almost can’t be seen in photos. Conductors also allegedly reported problems with the braking system.
