Print out the template.
-
Cut out the template and score the parts that need to fold.
-
Don't forget the cut out the key for the slit switch! It will allow you to turn on your Classic Mac!

Follow the circuit printed on the paper as you build. It will show the placement of the motor, battery, and LED.
-
We are using a 3mm LED, which is smaller than a standard 5mm LED. The LED is optional, and your circuit will work fine without it.
-
The LED legs may be too long. You can easily cut them with a wire cutter or a pair of scissors. (Hold the part you are cutting so it doesn't fly away!)
-
You'll need to insert the tape into the slit so it folds over on the outside of the Classic Mac. (This is what allows our switch to work.)

-
Once you have your circuit built you can fold it together.
-
To turn on your Classic Mac just insert the "floppy disk" (key) into the slot in the front. It will complete the circuit and your computer should boot up!

Enjoy your little Classic Mac!
