If you find one of the classics is non-functional, I could use a new case. My friend bought me a classic off of eBay for Christmas, and it's beyond repair cosmetically.

An update for anyone curious:
They're still in my garage. All the SE/30s have been examined and most of them have been repaired, likewise with a few of the 512ks. josefl710's built a bunch of SCSI2SD boards and we're finishing setting those up. Ran into a mounting issue, so I'll be 3D printing some of bbraun's SCSI2SD mounting brackets sometime this week.
It's slow going because of life/work/transporation, but we're nearly there with our first SE/30 about to go on the market.
I'm certain we'll have a fire sale on parts once we're done. For certain there'll be machines that can't be or not worth resurrecting, and those can be parted out. Keyboards, cases, hard drives, etc.

Any mystery expansion cards found? Those are always fun, and I'm still hoping to find an Outbound Docking Card in an SE or Plus....

You and me both on that card trag. I think I would have better luck locating an albino unicorn that can talk.

The more folks looking, the better. It increases the chances that someone will find one and show it to the others.
I still kick myself for letting an offer to sell me three of them fall through in the mid-90s. On the other hand, I don't know if it was a legit offer. Perhaps it fell through because it was a scam.

trag, I just had to google it to even know what it was. Google pointed me to an old 68kmla page... where you were looking for one 🙂 and discussing the three from the 90s. 🙂 I hope you find one someday

We've concentrated on the SE/30s and the 512ks. Haven't gone through the SEs and Pluses yet.

They're fixing them, then dumping them on eBay at once to completely destroy the resell market, last I heard. 😀
Though I think they'll be offered here too. That would be FANTASTIC! 🙂

What prices should we be looking at? I might just have to hoard a few.

hi guys! I'm new here. This is in fact my first post!
Trying to "get into the scene" with my 1st vintage Mac. Dream since I was a kid.
Too bad I'm half way around the world, Singapore - and landing an SE/30 won't be easy.
So, if someone can help me out here, really appreciate it.
Fully working SE/30, Keyboard II and ADB Mouse.
If it's easier, I've a freighter in Portland, OR who can forward to me.
Of cos, I'll also pay for S+H to Portland.
