128K Analog Recap photos and WTB:128K Motherboard

If you are going for real authenticity, the 128k-Plus didn't use the pins, they used double-sided, crazily strong foam tape (of which I have a reel).

On a Gemini-upgraded MacPlus, they used hot glue sandwiched between the ripped foam tape.

my 128k has all the 128k internals, but has a 512k back case. i figure it got swapped with an actual 512k at a dealer while in for service.

i bought it around 1990 and added Plus ROMs and a MacRescue daughterboard with 6 MB (4MB RAM like a Plus, 2MB RAM Disk).

amazingly enough, about a month ago i bought what was advertised as a 128k. when i opened it up i found it was really a 512Ke LB inside a 128k case. so i put the LB's in their respective cases.

maybe it's the Mac my 128k got all mixed up with and now they're reunited after 35 years? :unsure: ❤️‍🩹
