Free Classic and MORE!

[CompuNurd]

Someone told me last week that they had some old Mac stuff and wanted to know if I would take it. I said I would, no matter if it's new or old.

Today, I get this, and she said she has more!

The screen just shows a small horizontal line, so the sweep circuit might be messed up. Not bad, considering it's all free!







She owned a 512k at one point, but I don't think she has it anymore. I guess the manuals didn't change till the Plus... This should pair great with my 128k on its way.

Nice - love it when that happens. Every once in a while at work "stuff" will show up in my cube, because I'm "the 'likes old computers' guy"

Nothing beats free. If anything, a parts machine without monetary guilt.

I saw this and thought it was a giveaway.

Yep, look in the third picture. It's hard to make out what they are, and they are put away ATM, so I will have to look later.

Certainly compared to the one I picked up in a lot. I have added a new color to the spectrum: Commodore Brown

 

[techknight]

Thats bad..

Wow, to say that's yellowish would be a huge understatement!
But congrats on the free one, it's in very nice condition with all the manuals and stuff, plus you can't beat "free"
If I recall correctly there should be a couple of transistor that specifically manage the sweep circuit, one being the horizontal output transistor. They might be shot, unfortunately the dead mac scrolls only cover up to the SE/30, but you should be able to find some diagnostic help searching the threads in the compact mac forum!
