Well, that was my best group of conquests ever! I really cannot believe how much stuff this guy had. His uncle was an Apple Certified something-or-other, and he had TONS of old Macs. I got 2 Portables, 2 SE/30s, a dual floppy SE, an LC II, 2 Mac IIs, a PowerBook 150, a PowerBook 180 (with a smashed screen), a bunch of accessories, and … a BLACK compact Mac. I think it is a Plus, but it could be a 128k or 512k, there do not seem to be any markings on it other than the rainbow apple, but it does not appear to be painted. Sadly none of these work as of now, and the only battery between the two Portables is long dead, but for $30 I’m very happy.
The crazy thing is that this guy still has stuff left (probably 20+ vintage Macs, and a TON of accessories), among them a Performa 575, a few Performa 400s, four Apple IIes, a Mac IIcx, (and I think a IIvx and IIfx), and ten or more compacts, including (I think) another SE/30 or two, and a 512k, and a Plus, and an SE box (and some SEs). Check the trading post for this guy's contact information.
I hope to have pictures soon, but all I have is my iPhone, so they won't be good.
BTW, how do I power on a Portable? I just hit the keyboard, right?
