Well folks, time for another rebuild thread.
Purchased this fine SE in that huge lot I posted about.
Absolutely disgusting. Covered in spider webs, grime, sticker residue, major burn in, dead bugs inside, dusty, stains, yellowed, etc.
It's an SE 800k 1MB 20SC... Originally. Upgraded to a 160 MB quantum drive (still works great suprisingly! Was it the quantums that are good quality?) And 4MB ram! No maxell bomb in this one. Swapped out the battery.
Did a smoke test. Bonged. Nothing on the screen. Then, suddenly, the whole thing was gray. Stayed that ways for a minute. Of course, now I know since it has lots of ram, that was the memory test. Whoever had it last adjusted the desktop to take up the entire screen. Got to order some tools to adjust it back now... Looks like a medium to high hour unit. Floppy drive inject won't work so couldn't test it (hmmm... Wonder who will have spares... Oh, that's right. ).
First of the SE restore series I'll be doing with all of my new SEs.
Some before photos...
(Case not fully installed . Removed and checked some stuff and didn't bother screwing it back on)
