M0001: It appears to be an original, unadulterated 128K Mac, with 128K of RAM. Works fine except the floppy drive won't eject, but at least it has a boot disk with System 1.1 and MacWrite. Was last used in 1990 apparently by a college student.
SE FDHD: Turns on to black screen. Makes some noises that sound like a Dot Matrix printer. No startup bong.
Classic II: Turns on to gibberish screen. No startup bong. (capacitors?)
StyleWriter 1200
128K Keyboard in original packaging.
The rubber melted on the keyboard or something! The 4 rubber feet appear to have melted! Keyboard works fine though.

Nice pickup...the 128K alone is worth it.
The Classic II sounds like a capacitor problem. Very common on those.
My guess off the bat with the SE is a bum logic board. Find yourself an SE/30 board and get her on her feet!!!

If you can ever get that disk out, make an image ASAP and send it my way. Any format's fine, though disk copy is obviously preferred.

The rubber melted on the keyboard or something! The 4 rubber feet appear to have melted! It's due to the rubber perishing from pressure and friction; common in so many older Mac feet 🙂
