I was at a video game convention in NJ over the weekend(Funnily enough, it was actually called A Video Game Con), and at one of the booths there was a Mac SE with a sign taped to it saying something along the lines of "we accept trades" or something like that. Long story short I ended up asking the guy if it was for sale, and we settled on $25 since it was untested because he didn't have anything needed to test it out. I booted it up last night and it booted to the flashing question mark floppy icon, and emitted a smokey odor which IIRC is the flyback transformer, so I'll have to swap that out and look at the caps.
It's got the 800k disk, 20mb hdd, 1mb of RAM. Might try to find the 1.4 ROM chips/SWIM chip, and a 1.4 floppy drive to upgrade it. Also does anyone know if the flyback from a Mac Plus would work on it?
Overall the machine is in pretty good shape, little yellowing, and has the programmer switch installed
