didnt have the trackball. but i remember getting a keyboard identical to that one in a boxload of computer parts back when i was 14, i remember there being that keyboard, various other keyboards, and a couple apple IIGS systems. picked them up when i volunteered at the local, now defunct, FCG (Full Circle Group). computer reuse and recycler. Unfortunately, all that stuff is long since gone.
Before the e-waste laws were put into effect, a couple of guys dumped at least 30 or 40 mac classics and classic IIs in the dumpster out back right around the same time period i got that box of stuff. Unfortunately i lost interest in the old macs by then as i played with them enough and got a better mac, so i never saved any. Now my nostalgia fever has set in, and i wished i would have. but yea, its in the past now....
CCC (Cincinnati Computer Curriculum) had reformed out of the old remains of FCG, and was/is operating out of the same building. I went back after the reformation, management and all the rules had changed, and they treat volunteers as they are paid workers in a communistic government. So i ended up getting kicked out. I accidently dropped a printer when ordered to unload pallets of computer equipment off of a boxtruck. Got my ass chewed out over it, so i chewed his ass right back, including picking up the printer and hurling it at the guy. (yes, i had anger management issues) I miss the old FCG, they respected you as a volunteer, and were much more laid back. As long as things got done as they should.
I still have my old NEC Accusync 75F flat CRT i got from when FCG was still in operation. it still works. although the VGA cable is flakey.
