So I started cleaning and taking apart the IIc. Some things to notice:
Apparently someone had removed the serial sticker, so I have no clue what the serial number is for this machine. Is there any other place beside the box (which is also gone) that lists the serial number?
Also interesting to note is that there seemed to be evidence of someone having opened the case before. Note the marks in the plastic in front of the clip:
Anyway, opening it up, everything was pretty clean. A quick go with some compressed air and it looks like it's in pretty good condition. Probably has something to do with this little filter medium they attached to the top case over the vents:
Is that standard? I don't recall ever seeing anything like that before.
Upon removing the keyboard, I found... a twist tie. Weird.
It looked like maybe something was leaking inside the power converter, so I decided to take a look.
It's an ASTEC unit, btw:
Opening it up, it doesn't look like any of the caps have popped. I just see that bit of schmutz that was visible from the outside. Easily cleaned up.
It's getting late, so I'm going to call it a night.
