is this a 512ke upgrade?

I just bought another (what was advertised as) 128k Mac. it got a good chime and boots System 1 fine. the display has a tiny amount of jiggle.

after opening it I found that both boards are very clean. no battery and no battery damage and no cap leaks with a barely cracked RIFA.

however, it's got 512k, 800k FD and Plus ROMs. it does not have the 512 check box on the LB. it does not have an E after the M0001 model number, nor does it say "512k" or "512ke" in the Macintosh badge on the rear case. it does have this do-hickey next to the CPU:

so is this a 128k upgraded to a 512ke, still in the 128k case?

Hi, yes probably a 128k with new ram chips (Poorly done unfortunately) and Plus Roms.

You should have the rear Macintosh badge or the late Macintosh 128k one.
