Hi,
Recently picked up a bunch of old macs. I primarily collect Apple II, Atari and Amiga home computers so not new to vintage computing. These were sitting on a shelf in an unheated garage for at least 20-30 years. I’m guessing most of the caps and batteries are toast. Where can I source cap kits and replacement parts and batteries? I’m in the US, I have a floppyEmu that I should be able to boot these from. Also picked up two Mac portables and a bunch of misc. boards and items. Beyond cleaning and board / monitor caps and chucking the batteries is there anything else I should watch out for? I will order a new ROM for the SE/30’s so I can use the floppyEMU in HD20 mode and look into replacing the internal hard drives if they are gone. Looks like Blue or ZuluSCSI are popular, any recommendations? Lastly one of the macs looks to have an expansion card (network card?)
Thanks
-Mike
