Highlights:

- LC with MicroMac ThunderCache

- Performa 6115 with Newer Tech 240 MHz G3

- DuoDock with Duo 210

- Duo 2300c in almost perfect condition

The Performa 6115 was rusted though and has been dismantled. Thankfully no rust got onto the Newer Tech card.

Also looks like the LC's caps are completely gone. A little bit of the crap got on the ThunderCache but I don't think it's harmed.

Still going through the pile. Any updates over an hour from now will be in new posts since editing posts more than 60 minutes after posting constitutes anarchy.

The DuoDock runs, but you can tell it's getting pretty old. You have to turn it on about 10 times before it stays on. This is my first DuoDock to actually work though. I have another one that's dead (likely the capacitors) and a second dock that someone felt the urge to savagely dismantle, perhaps in an attempt to remove the PowerBook.

Do you have the tech guy who works in your shop recap all the marginal units or only if you have a buyer?

He's no longer with the company. It's just me now. However, I am considering recapping one of the units myself.
