Make that a 128k, 512k, 512ke, Macintosh ED, Classic II, SE, SE FDHD, SE SuperDrive (I think there was one that says this on the case, even though the FDHD also has a SuperDrive), and Colour Classic II And a beige/platinum Plus (depending which one you've already got) if you really want everything. There's more than you might think...I have a Plus, Classic, SE/30 and Colour Classic, so I will need to get my hands on a 128K, 512K and an SE if I want the full collection.
8-o 8-O 8-o For a Plus?! Woah, I'll have to think about putting mine up for sale! Was it a really good example or something, to get a price like that? They hardly go for anything normally, as far as I've seen. Was that a buy-it-now or a bid? I've found that you tend to get better prices for things (not Mac stuff though as I haven't sold any of that - I don't know whether this holds true for everything) by putting on high buy-it-nows as people for some reason go for them rather than bidding on another one and getting it for much less.I have a beige Plus at the moment, but did have a Platinum one at one point. Sold that one on eBay though and got £35 for it!
if they havent gutted them and ypgraded them to oblivionIt's certainly possible. I have every single one except for a CCII. The only one I paid real money for was the first Plus I owned, which I bought new in 1988 for the then-bargain price of $999US, thanks to a school discount. If I were really determined to have a complete set, I'd have to shell out some serious $$$ for a CCII. They're rare, and most are owned by Japanese who cherish them, and would only part with them reluctantly.
It also has logic on its side. If the definition of compact AIOs is completed:I think the widely regarded criteria for a Compact Mac fits somehow like this:
- 68k Processor
- AIO
- 9 or 10 Inch Screen
... I don't have any arguments against the iMac, or the criteria, all I can say is that's how it is in the Mac community.
If we get into minutiæ, Classic IIs with and without sound-holes on the left side over the internal speaker ... ? And how about 'official' upgrades, from 128K to 'Fat Mac' or Plus, 512K and 512Ke to Plus, SE to SE FDHD, Classic to Classic II, &c., &c. At the original prices of the compact AIOs, board-swap upgrade kits (often with a bucket-swap too) made good sense.... Make that a 128k, 512k, 512ke, Macintosh ED, Classic II, SE, SE FDHD, SE SuperDrive (I think there was one that says this on the case, even though the FDHD also has a SuperDrive), and Colour Classic II And a beige/platinum Plus (depending which one you've already got) if you really want everything. There's more than you might think...
No not the color classics, i dont count those as compact macs.You have a Colour Classic II??? Actually, if you are prepared to count a colour classic upgraded to a CCII rather than badged as one, the full set would not be too hard to acquire.
