Someone should make a movie with a title like that....
Anyway, I can report that an advert on www.kijiji.ca led me to four Classics, three working, and three with the 4MB ram upgrade, along with a Classic with no crt. The latter looks to have the best of the four cases, however, and an inventory of other usable parts.
I also took (as I was asked and as the guy was moving house and in a bit of a state, but evidently not wanting to put it all out at the kerb) an empty Mac Plus case (yellowed), intended at one stage on its journey in a past life for a Macquarium, methinks. It never made it there, and now I have to figure out quite what to do with it.
As a bonus, and possibly because people willing to take this stuff are rare, I was offered a Quadra 800 in very good condition, which booted up on my return home to reveal 65MB ram but alas, no nubus or pds niceties. I am a Quadra fan, and this is a new model for me. The 'new' Q800 is in so much better shape than my 840av - which is falling apart and such a shame!
Along with this I picked up two Apple Extended Keyboards and one of the small ones that shipped c. 1993, the name of which I forget just now. And some keyboard cabling, which is always useful with so many (50+) machines.
Two pristine Starmax towers were also on offer, but I have to draw the line somewhere; clones is that line – the 'clonesline'. Aren't I a wit.
All for free. Anyone in SW Ontario want a working Classic? I don't need three.
