Local haul (128k, G4 cube, some others)

Posted by: JRL on 2018-06-09 16:56:03 Got the following for $40 today. All of this stuff was super dirty/beat but cleaned up ok. 128k (Can't tell if it's been upgraded - if it has, not past a 512k or so) - this has startup chime but doesn't do anything. (+kb/mouse) G4 cube (+ psu) Performa 475 IIc + color monitor (+ psu) Personal Laserwriter LS ImageWriter II x2 Small assortment of boxed software/games Pretty happy, can't wait to fix the 128k!

Posted by: tanaquil on 2018-06-09 18:40:45 The more I look at it, the more jealous I get. Definitely a nice haul for $40, no matter what you find in it.  (There is a special joy in digging through the surprise boxes of life. Hope you find some nice surprises!)

Posted by: JRL on 2018-06-09 22:26:04 After I resoldered some broken joints on the analog, the 128k works great! It does have a memory upgrade (as I should have anticipated) in it though, it doesn't provide SCSI or anything. I shouldn't really complain though. The drive is totally gummed up so I can't check it out for the time being.
