Found this machine on Craig's about 20 minutes from my house - for free. Picked it up today. It's a basket case. One amazing thing is that the power supply appears to be in working order. I get all the proper Voltages yet the board doesn't turn on. Going to order the capacitors and soak the board in isoproply in the hopes that I can get most of the green funk off. The floppy looks wasted - I'm not sure if a restoration can bring it back but electrically it "tries" to mount a floppy. The hard drive spins up and down every 5 seconds (anyone seen this problem?). And so far this machine obviously doesn't boot.
I'm planning to do the power supply and the logic board in the hopes that it will boot. Not sure from there but figure it *could* be worth saving from the trash pile. Does this look too far gone to you guys?
