Scored a Mac 512K for $36 bucks!!!

Scored this guy on eBay for a mere $36 bucks. The pictures in the auction showed the case to be in pretty bad shape. There was some oxidation on the ports and some green corrosion on the battery contacts. The case too is pretty beat up and scratched. I took the chance anyway. I really wanted it for the 400K floppy drive so that I could replace the one in my other 512 that's in pretty decent shape, except for the floppy drive. I figured for $36 bucks, if the floppy works, then everything else is a bonus!

Here it is:

Pretty beat up, right?

I opened it up and crossed my fingers.

Yikes! Looks like it spent the past few decades in a damp basement. Rust, cob webs, and dried up dead bugs!

Sadly, the floppy drive in this too is dead. It still powers up thought, so not all is lost.

I'm going to clean it up and see what I can make of it.
