Just picked op an SE for 55€.
Absolute steal, bloke advertised as an attic cleanup, working condition, if not gone by the weekend it went to the junkyard...
Got in the car and drove out straight away.
So, it is indeed working, I guess a 20MB harddrive and 800k floppy.
Boots, programs work (word 4.0, excel, ...). Bloody noisy thing it is as well
Even came with a style writer II, not yet tested.
So, obviously want to preserve it, what to look out for?
Obviously urgently a new battery before it turns explosive, recap,...
The screen is a bit unstable, it's sharp, but the image wiggles a bit, like the size varies all the time.
Maybe new (hopefully quite) fan.
As it has 4mb ram, maybe install 7.0 or 7.1, just don't want it to get too sluggish.
Might use a blueSCSI, but then I guess the external DB25, I kind of like to boot occasionally from the noisy spinner for the sake of authenticity!
And a good cleanup
Are those keyboards easy to find? On mine the esc key sort of broke, still works but is loose....
