Hey,

I used to post on 68kMLA a long time ago when you were on that weird forum system hosted on that other weird site.

Anyway I'm back today because I just got a huge pallet of Mac stuff for $100. Here's what was all included:

68k Macs

Macintosh 128K (it works but the floppy is bad and the power might be loose or something)

Mac Classic II (good condition with Kensington anti glare thingy)

Mac SE (some problems, capacitor leak maybe. shows garbage video unless you turn it off and on a bunch of times. it does boot but the sound is barely audible.)

Mac SE/30 (degraded video, maybe bad solder joints etc. does work, has hard drive, good sound)

Performa 577 (excellent)

Mac IIsi (dead power supply. selling off the parts. PM me)

Mac IIci (good condition. formerly a web server it looks like)

Quadra 610 (works)

PowerBook 540c with 2 batteries (untested, no power brick, bought one from eBay though waiting for it to come in)

Quadra 800 (works)

PPC Macs

Power Mac 9500/132 with a G3 card upgrade, works

Performa 6400/200 (works)

Power Mac 6100 (untested, missing video adapter thingy)

Beige G3s - One each 233 MHz, 266 MHz, 300 MHz Good Condition

Bondi Blue iMac Original Rev A 233 MHz EXCELLENT condition

Power Mac 7500/100 with the video input, works great

Displays

Apple 15" Multiscan w/ speakers (good)

Apple 14" Multiscan w/ speakers (good)

Macintosh 16" Color Display (VERY dim, trying to fix)

Macintosh 12" Monochrome (bright but degraded video)

Printers

Laserwriter 4/600 PS (works)

Laserwriter (bigger networkable one, not currently working)

Color Stylewriter 4100 (dead?)

Imagewriter II (prints YELLOW for some reason. the damn ribbon won't slide up so it touches the black part instead of one of the colored parts.)

Drives

Apple floppy port 3.5" disk drive (works)

Apple floppy port 5.25" disk drive (untested)

Apple CD 300i (external SCSI)

Some kind of Power brand, Caddy-based SCSI CD ROM

Accessories

At least a dozen Apple Design Keyboards

2 Apple Extended 2 Keyboards

Bunch of ADB Mouse II "teardrop"

A couple of ADB Mouse I "blocky"

Apple Modem 2400 bps (works!)

2 Apple USB Mice (original round ones for iMacs)

Funky brand ADB keyboard that ALSO had the phone jack thingy

Keypad/Function key module for Apple Adjustable Keyboard

Original Apple ADB Keyboard

a few of the ADB Keyboard II non extended type

Misc

Apple IIe WITH 2 Disk II drives, Hayes modem, RAM card, 80 col card, etc. (my friend dropped something on it though so it's currently out of commission. he is fixing it though. it was working originally.)

I think that's all of it, it was a huge haul. My car is a compact but I was lucky in that it was in the shop and I had a midsize rental when I picked all this stuff up because the car was PACKED. My friend had to hold one of the Macs on his lap.

Bought it all for $100 cash.

I can't keep all of this so some of it has to go. PM me if you're interested in trading/buying. I have over 200 feedback on eBay a lot from selling. Go to http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=macjunkie999 and scroll to the bottom to validate it.

Anyway I'm glad to have gotten all these great Macs, I hope I can get them fixed up, and get most of them in good homes, of course I'm keeping some for myself 😀

Do you think you want to sell any of the compacts?
Posted by: Mike Richardson on 2007-07-01 20:59:42
Yes, most of the compacts will probably be going. I'm keeping the Mac 128K but I can sell the Mac Classic II, and the Mac SE (/30) once we get one repaired and put together.

I also have a Mac Plus 4 MB that I got some time ago that I could part with.

Okay, please let me know when you are ready to part with some.

I am trying to get an entire collection of every compact mac.

I'll do a little informational website on them or something.
