I picked up a 512k today - I already have two other 512s but I wanted to get this one as I spotted a SCSI port at the battery location.
I removed the SCSI plate and was happy to see only minor corrosion from the battery, and all confined to the battery holder.
The unit does have a MacSnap SCSI but unfortunately that's it. No CPU upgrade or even a RAM upgrade. I'm not sure how useful a SCSI port will be with 512k RAM.
I haven't booted the machine yet as the seller said it wouldn't start (it just clicked). The model was a M0001WP (and indicated 220V on the back) so I figured he was trying to run a 220V board here on 110V, but when I opened up the unit, it seems to have a 110V analog board so it must have been retrofitted at some point. I'll install my usual new caps, rectifiers and other upgrades and I'm sure that will get it going again.
