Poopopyo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Going to Stop & Shop one day while playing Animal Crossing and my mom slams the brakes and says "hey, I wonder if that's a Macintosh?" She backs up and this is what we see. 3 Macintosh SEs, 1 SE FD HD, 1 Macintosh plus, a performa 200, an LC, an LC III, a dot matrix printer, a black and white monitor, and a keyboard (no wires or mouse, but I already have them). The LC and Performa are the only ones that have worked perfectly. The Plus has no battery or keyboard, one of the LCs has a line going down the monitor when you turn it on, when I turn in the LC III it has the normal start up noise and then plays a minor tone and a thick blue line appears across the screen, one SE's floppy drive isn't plugged in, another has something wrong with the disk drive. I hope I can fix some of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm looking for a SCSI cd-rom <10X, some ram for a Color Classic and any kind of ethernet cards for any Apple. Also if you have a fully populated mainboard for a Color Classic that's great, too. GOTTA check the online scene if you have parts for sale, a simple must! Poopoyo, that was a hellacious score, you have a whole network right there! For that many classic macs, go appletalk!

Poopopyo Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Does anybody know where I could get a PRAM battery for the Mac Plus? EDIT: It's not an LC that has a line going down the monitor, it's the SE FD HD, And that's the one of the computers I wanted to work most.
