I got this Classic off a friend last week and have been spending the last few days trying to get it going. Definitely the worst condition Mac that I ever got, both technically and cosmetically. Both logic and analogue board problems, but that's for another thread
Well when I took off the rear bucket I noticed that the boys in Cork used a Classic II bucket and put a plug into the hole for the microphone input!
What's even stranger is that the date of manufacture is week 10 (March) of 1993, when the Classic was supposed to be discontinued in September 1992 (according to http://www.apple-history.com/compare/classic/classic_ii).
So what's that all about? I suppose they had some Classic bits still lying around and made a few more (this one was sold on the Irish market and there were at least 5 others). Also this one had 2Mb of RAM and a 80Mb hard disk as standard.
Unusual?
