Pismo 500? worth the buy?

I ve been looking for a Pismo since some time now.

This action seems rather intresting, because it is a 500 mhz Pismo.

However it does not have any ram, nor a HD. It is being sold for spares, but it looks in mint condition.

Would it be worth buying it?

RAM and HDs can be found at reasonable prices, I say go for it. I hear they are nice machines.

That power supply looks horrifying. I'd replace that thing right away if you buy it.

Egads!

That is one heckuva a hack job on that PS.

Yay for mail tape to repair a cable!

I love my Pismo 400MHz. It has been one of the most dependable, durable and usable Macs I have ever owned. That and my SE/30.
