A hello, and a question

Hello!

having had a quick browse, I reckon this is probably the best forum section for this.

I am an owner of an ancient Mac, an LCIII if you please (I can hear the impressed whistles from here) it's a fine machine, been sequencing my MIDI for a few years and still has plenty of life it it.

But.......

The mouse is knackard.

I'm not too up on Macs really, the only one I have used is my own so apologies in advance for what is I'm sure an obvious question.

The nearest apple retailer for me is in central London, and I will need to dash to it after work tomorrow as I am mid project, but I don't want a wasted journey, or to be laughed at by the sales people.

This is my connection:




Is this still in use, or should I save myself a journey and try a specialist??

Thanks for any help

Dave

eBay would be your best bet. I have one of those, but the shipping would hardly make it worth it.

thats old, I doubt the apple retail store could help you. maybe you could order one online or something, I had a few of those lieing around a few weeks ago, had I known, Ida kept them and shipped one to you, they worked perfect, o well.

Really???

Man, I was praying for a

'yeah, well still use those all the time!'

Going to be lost without it.

Do you know of any spare part online places I might try?...

cheers

Dave

if I can have a model number or some identifying element I can find one real cheap online.

Ah cheers mate...

the bottom says:

Try this - outrageous price and they don't hold stock, but all you want is a new mouse right? - this will fit your machine.

of course you have tried cleaning yours - in my experience mice generally stop for two reasons, cable breaks or rollers inside get gummed up

re: www.lindy.co.uk above

looks like they actually do have them in stock, I didn't pay full attention to the status codes!
