Yesterday, I picked up an awesome 6500/275 for $20!
It came to me completely functional, with 4GB HD and 96MB RAM, a VGA adapter (no Apple/Mac monitor), a really cool all black Keyboard II (M0487) and matching ADB Mouse II, an aftermarket wave ergo keyboard and a white ADB Mouse II, and two complete-in-box TV capture cards with remotes, software and manuals.
I initialized the HD and installed a clean 9.1, Classilla, AD 4 (patched for OS 9), and a few games. All running smoothly. Not sure what I will do with it yet, but for now, it's working and it's cool.
Also, a week ago, I was given an Apple II+ with 48k RAM and a 16k language card. It was in poor shape and did not boot. I ended up replacing the power supply, and pulling, cleaning and reseating every RAM and ROM chip on the mainboard. I also had to solder a new 104 cap onto the language card as one had a leg burned all the way off. Since the refurbishment, it has been working very well and appears to be steady now. Time will tell...
