Dude, this topic is "Post your favorite Hacks & Mods here!" what did you expect? I've had an crazy thought about Quadra 950 with anything from dual core G5 to MacPro guts inside... oh man!

That's very good find! Love the PowerCD design. Been looking for one for quite a time, those just wont pop up anymore.

Picked some great condition and clean joysticks, one Apple //e & //c -model with manual and one "Joystick 600" boxed with manual and adapters from the same guy who i got the Apple ][ software disks and games last week. He might have some manuals and magazines as well. That "Joystick 600"...

"The whole Cube was cleaned from the old colour and powder coated in a shiny black colour (RAL 9005). I went to a special company for that which is specialized in restoration of vintage cars. However the coating was not that perfect as I expected since there were some bladders and it was not...

If we are talking about machines in Finland, seems that stock 128k is way more rare. I've heard from several first hand sources that a lot of (nobody can say what rate or %) original 128k's were upgraded to either 512k or "Plus". Historically interesting and that's why worth keeping. I'd still...

Few closeups:

Yes the ROM's are from Plus indeed. ROM HI = 342-0341-A - Apple '83-'85 ROM LOW 342-0342-A - Apple '83-'85 What comes to originality, i'd prefer an original 128k. I do have an 512ke, Plus, SE/30 etc for enjoying more RAM and easier usage of disk media (800k) and SCSI. If there's use of Apple...

We managed to get the board out and take some pictures. © 1983 board, upgraded with Tektor Oy's FINNMAC board with 1Mb RAM and SCSI. I'll add some close-up pictures later. Interesting wiring going on.

Quick estimate gives me minium of 75 euro (under 15kg).

If you pay for the shipping, i have an rather stock condition 4400/200. Aaaww... i know the shipping is expensive even on surface mail :I

Might be so as this shop did a lot of repairs and upgrades back then. They had some of their own products made as well. It could be readily made board they they just swapped those in if somebody wanted an upgrade. Hope i can get more info about this practise soon from them as they are still around.

This is what amazed me. I was sure it was an 512k board when i saw the add-on. I just wonder why they replaced the motherboard to earlier one when they did the upgrade at Tektor Oy. I might get info soon as one colleque knows still people there and they might remember how they did these. On old...

Some low-quality shots. Wasn't able to remove the motherboard without suitable tools as the add-on board was on the way. Let's see tomorrow with proper tools can bend the metal rail wich holds the motherboard.

Some findings: Is 2nd. Revision model with "Macintosh 128k" -logo on back. Motherboard : LB028400007333 / 820-0086-C / © 1983 - Isn't this 1. revision board? Serial on case: F4514MFM0001P P = International 230V Manufactured in: F => Fremont, California, USA Year of production: 1984...

This is quite nice! http://www.callapple.org/2013/03/09/quickcam-on-the-apple-e/

Teaser of next conquest but... :( =

Gotta love the Cube! Picked an almost stock G4 Cube with an airport card and virtually new Dr.Botts powersupply from colleque for 50€. I think it had 128Mb RAM, 20GB HDD and DVD-ROM. Not yet powered up. I once gave this for him for free, only sold that Dr.Botts powersupply (new in a box), for...

That's wonderfull! Please share all details about the disks, bootup success and everything!
