Strawberry iMac goes to new owner
Added 2023-08-05 02:14:57 +0000 UTCA young local iMac G3 collector with presence on YouTube as TheMacintoshBuyer was looking for a strawberry iMac DV slot load, which was the only colour he hadn't owned before. I had bought one a couple years ago just for my iMac SL video and it sat on the shelf since.
When I said that I was not particularly attached to it, he offered a Power Macintosh G4 Sawtooth with 17" graphite CRT. The exact system I bought in 2000, but my CRT died... loudly... years ago. In addition, a 17" iMac G5, which I did not own, but will be handy for the next video.
He's recently got back into making videos, and has a lot of knowledge about these. For example, the Harmon Kardon speakers will basically fall apart if you push any volume after this many years.
Within hours he had a video posted on his take-apart and inspection. Great stuff!

That's unfortunate. He claimed the replacement is not too bad and hopes to do a video about it.
