Two interesting facts regarding the P200 I've found so far, both of which are evident in applefreaks post - mine also has a 110v power supply (which I suppose is to be expected as mine was from the US too) and secondly the sticker on the back of the machine is different to Classic and Classic...

Hey folks, I'd like to say a public "thank you" to a fellow 68KMLA'er (TheNixer) for my latest conquest. I've got myself a Performa 200! I realise it's "just a re-badged Classic II" but I had to have one in my collection. Another terrible photo, I know.

Permission granted to remain off-topic. A good laugh and moderately insightful :) Go on....

Yeah that's the thing - I offered him more than it was worth just to secure it. I think he was surprised with my offer as he accepted very eagerly. As you said, he removed it from the ebay listing for me and was going to get back to me with postage but said he was "busy with work, sorry for the...

G'day Jason. You're right, this isn't the one from Victoria - that bloke still hasn't replied to me...! Perhaps he's xx( ?? This ED came from the Netherlands. Cost me a fair whack in freight but the guy did an awesome job of packaging and it only took a week or so to arrive. I think the...

Awesome. Damn you do well! Pics are required though :lol:

Finally got my hands on a Platinum Macintosh ED (512k). Powers on to the over-voltage crowbar. Hopefully it's repairable, I'll have a look sometime though I'm not overly worried, just glad I've finally found one. A quick cleanup reveals it's in good cosmetic condition other than a few small...

Goodness me! A G4 cube WITH the speakers, power supply and original VGA adapter for $75? Very well done indeed. Also, the Indigo was worth picking up in that condition for only $15 too.

LOL. I'll give him a grand for it. What an interesting machine. Would like to see some more photos, especially of the back/inside. Looks like the case screws have been WAY overtightened - look at the top of the bezel?

Sounds good - nice work. A little effort and you've saved one. Love the feeling and so often they're relatively straight forward fixes. Are you sure it's yellowed and not just an early beige Mac Plus? A retro-bright would give good results whatever the original colour was. A fresh "beige" Mac...

Excellent - thanks guys! Wish me good luck!

Oh and your website (and your collection) is awesome.

Although I'm definitely risking sounding like a "noob" here 8-o Where might I be able to find a suitable donor chip? And is there any way to determine which chip it may be from the code? Or is it a case of trial and error to narrow down which are faulty? Perhaps I should check all the...

I bet it would have actually powered on as well haha. Poor thing...

I'll check all the solder joints on the RAM. Is it likely that one of the chips has just failed though? If so, is replacement even possible?

Ok so I know there's a fair amount of info on the net and on 68kmla regarding decoding the Sad Mac error codes however, I'm stuck... I've a Mac 512k here which is in fairly average cosmetic condition and it starts up without chime and shows a Sad Mac with the number 02A000. Any ideas what this...

^^^ what he said. Pics or ban! :simasimac:

Nice one, BNIB! I bought two last model Xserve's when Apple announced they were going to discontinue them. They're both in the store room sealed in the box. I'm secretly hoping they're never needed so in 10 years time I can open some BNIB "vintage" hardware. Probably never happen though. Rare...

Nice photos. What a mint looking setup.

Oh and well done with your conquest - $25 is a steal for that lot! More pics? :-*
