In 2010 I visited a local wasteland that at the time was taking in E-scrap and pulling all its metal off and passing the buck, they lasted maybe 2 years
while I was in there I yanked out a couple mac's sitting in mud puddles (along with some other lewt) out of the two mac's one that would boot after spending months face down in a mud puddle was a 1986 SE with a 800k floppy disk and a 40 meg hard drive.
And that is what I want to give away today
its a Mac SE, 8mhz model with a non working 800k Floppy disk, replacement working 80MB hard drive, maxed out 4 megs of ram and system 7.0.1
It DOES REQUIRE a analog board capacitor replacement, but currently functions if you can tolerate a 1 second screen spaz every few seconds (honestly after 6 years, once you focus in on what your doing its not horrid, but it will fail eventually)
It DOES REQUIRE a new 800k floppy disk if you want to use the disk drive, I always transferred everything to it via serial port and Zterm cause even if the drive worked I have like 2 DSDD 3.5 inch disks in my entire collection
I clipped off the dead pram battery so you will have to replace that if you want a clock that keeps time, otherwise its un-needed
physical condition, considering where it came from is not that bad, it is missing the expansion slot cover (it had a radius card in it that was dead), it is quite tan, but not yellow, and there is a hairline crack in the lower right hand of the monitor bezel. there are also scuff marks along the edges and a slight scuff in the CRT
Working but needs some work, free to a good home, dont need it as my classic mac anymore since I have a color LC taking over duties with a 18 inch lcd
can be seen in this instrucables article when I first picked it out
