These were donated to my brother's school, but I arranged the deal and picked them up. They're going into the Computer teacher's lab. He has students do projects on older Macs so they know what computers were like back then.
They're pretty rough, scratches on the cases (not on the screens, thankfully), and pretty yellowed, but it's going to be fun setting them up. I have a bunch of AppleTalk adapters, I wanna make a small network of 8 Color Classics. :cc:
I've only looked at one of the Mac portables, but the hinge was broken and there were no accessories. I don't even know if it'll turn on. I'm hoping they're at least the backlit versions, I might be able to scavenge some parts. All the portables came with their black bags, which were in pristine condition.
I'm going to talk to the Science teacher about making a large vat of Retr0 Bright. I'll do a large scale whitening, and hopefully bring in a few of my personal machines and get them whitened along with the others.
Gonna be fun. 🙂

I got to keep 2 of the Color Classics and 1 Mac Portable, plus 1 extra Mac Portable bag. Unfortunately I have no idea if the portable works, there aren't any accessories. 🙁

Great haul anyway! Got ANY 100 series power adapter to try to boot the luggable?

No, I don't even have one to boot my 180c. I'm still looking for a working power adapter.
