Two Mac Plus Computers - Parts or Restore
Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 6:45 pm
Hi All,
I have two faulty Mac Pluses minus keyboards and mice. They have been sitting under a house for at least the last 10 years, but are in OKish cosmetic condition. They are good for parts or restoration (I am tempted but just dont have the time or space at the moment). Both have mobo's but neither have RAM. The PSU in one is completely disconnected, I'm not sure what the history is on it - this one also has a corroded frame (one corner) which has affected the mobo in it - looks like it could be cleaned up, I dont think its battery spill. The other one I foolishly tried to power up, which resulted in a capacitor explosion (judging by the smell and smoke ). Both units have disk drive, PSU, mobo, tube, case. They are missing the odd case screw tho.
Also with this lot comes a faulty 128k Mac mobo - missing a voltage regulator by the looks of it, but otherwise complete - has a sticker on the CPU that says "crook" - no idea whats wrong with it, havent tried to power it up - good for parts or repair I would say.
Pickup Porirua
Price = zero. Trying to save them from the dump and get them to someone who cares
