Last week, I purchased a Mac SE/30 on Mercari from a seller who mentioned he had already recapped the machine. This afternoon it arrived. In the box was a keyboard / mouse (1993/4 vintage) and the Mac itself.
It booted up just fine. Checking the specs: it has 8MB of RAM and a 340MB hard drive. The case is in remarkably good condition for a machine of this vintage. There is no yellowing, but there are the assorted scuff marks and other cosmetic blemishes to deal with. (Any products I can use to get rid of sticker residue and other scuff marks?)
I haven't opened up the unit just yet, but I did notice that the Mac has Ethernet on the back as well as a video expansion card of some type. The installed system is System 7.5.3 rev. 2. With shipping, I paid $260. I think that's pretty reasonable considering what I've seen an SE/30 go for on eBay.
Anyway, I'm very excited to finally have a working SE/30!
