Pacific Northwest ***WANTED MACINTOSH SE***

[Arlo]

I was wondering if anyone had a Macintosh SE to spare?
I have been looking for one for quite awhile and have not been successful in finding one, if anyone has some info that would be great!

What part of the Pacific Northwest are you located in?

What is your budget and are you willing to cover the cost to ship? I can double box etc., but I am in MI so it's a ways.

I have 2 spare SE's though. One is very loaded out, one is functional and could use an owner who wants to do the work.

Mac SE	Yellowed case, but Fully recapped in 2018, Micromac accelerator w/FPU, SCSI2SD v5, new battery 2018 (soldered in)
Mac SE Double Floppy	Double Floppy - Replaced logic board with a tested spare one and new battery, upgraded to 4MB RAM and internal BlueSCSI

I have the SE listed for $500 (the MicroMac is a 68030 w/68882 FPU) on another forum, the photo gallery is here:

The Double Floppy one I'd have to photo and figure a price for or could consider a fair offer.

I was looking for one to restore as a starter, so maybe around $100

I may be able to do that for the double floppy SE I have, the CRT on it is super clean, and since it's not recapped and upgraded that may be a reasonable price, less freight. If you would like, I can get that one out for photos.

If it wasn’t to much of a hassle, photos would be great.

@Arlo Dual floppy SE is nice because you can keep both floppy drives and sneak a SCSI2SD or something similar inside. If it doesn't already have the SWIM upgrade, that's something else you can work towards upgrading. Will require a bit of soldering to swap out the WIM chip for a SWIM chip, then upgrade the ROMs.

Gah, almost forgot! I am working around that area this weekend

If someone _does_ do this upgrade, I have a IIe board with a faulty IWM and I could use the old chip for that repair. Drop me a line in such an event, even if it's years down the road.
