Macintosh 512Ke in (not so) good working order.

Yesterday I received my new Macintosh 512Ke described by the seller as "in good working order". This afternoon I finally had a chance to power it up. It did turn on, the power on beep was duly issued, as was the "?" floppy screen. All seemed pretty good for a minute or so until, while I was digging around for a boot floppy, the screen went away and the magic smoke came out. A lot of magic smoke, and it kept coming well after turning off and unplugging the power. I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.
