| Macintosh pieced together? |

Is there any way to find out if my macintosh has just been pieced together from random parts on ebay?
Thanks |

Not really, no.
Also, given the price of spares compared to whole machines, that would be a wildly uneconomic use of someone's time. |

One more question, Is there a difference between the 128k and the 512k motherboard? If so, could you tell me? |

Not reliably. Earlier 128ks had a differently printed board, but later ones are the same except for the RAM, IIRC. |

It's not unheard of for multiple Macs be merged into one for the "best" parts; but you'd hope the one you are looking at isn't comprised of reject parts. A decent hobbyist seller would know this and state what is functional and not, you'd hope. |
