| Possible Conquest: MacTable | |
| Posted by: mattsoft on 2020-09-05 01:10:32 Been looking for one of these for a while, and one showed up locally for $100. Thought I'd offer him $80 -- decent enough deal? Thought it would look nice with some Macs on it. The Scanco MacTable!  | |
| Posted by: Cory5412 on 2020-09-05 08:37:16 oooh, good luck, these are real neat. If it's in good shape and everything, $80 seems like a good deal to me, but I haven't tracked the value on these things or anything. | |

| Posted by: mattsoft on 2020-09-07 08:47:18 I ended up picking it up but it's in pretty bad shape. figured I'd rescue it from further harm. the frame is solid, but the desk had been stored in a damp location and the melamine coated particle board has swollen a lot. gonna see if I can get replacement melamine from Home Depot and rebuild the desktop pieces. The desktop pieces are not interchangeable like I thought -- they are held to the frame with crappy hinges so they can adjust up and down, but they don't move around. I don't know if the hinges are original though, but they are needed for the desktop to be held in place. anyway, it needs lots of work and will be a fun project for sure. a little polyurethane goes a long way! | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2020-09-08 06:35:14 I also assumed they were a quick change. I guess you have to dismantle it to move then panels around. The one in the picture you linked to has them in the opposite direction. Not very useful as a computer desk in that configuration. 🙂 | |
