Got a Mac Plus (beige) and a Mac SE/30 delivered for $60 to practice my repair and soldering skills on. Since they are already broken the stakes aren't as high, and I want to make sure my recap of my other Mac SE/30 goes well
The Mac Plus does not boot - took a look inside and the fuse has blown plus C33 and C36 look absolutely shredded. The rest looks fine, just dusty! Also, TIL that Mac Pluses have fuses.
The Mac SE/30 powers on, I get the simasimac screen plus the hard drive sounds like it's trying to do 100mph in 1st gear, so a couple of things to dig into. Logic board looks clean, so who knows. It came with a bonus PDS graphics card!
Time to buy a multimeter
