For sale is a Mac SE/30 (Model M5119)
This Mac has been restored to good working order. Every single electrolytic capacitor on the analog board has been replaced. The power supply was also gone through and fully recapped as well. Finally, the motherboard was recapped and rebuilt on an SE/30 Reloaded board as the original was battery bombed. These boards use a coin cell lithium battery to keep the motherboard safe from future battery damage.The SE/30 is installed with MacOS 7.1 and 7.5 on a BlueSCSI 2 SD Card Adapter. This will allow you to easily change the software and operating software as you like and greatly improves reliability. A number of vintage apps and games are installed on the drive to get you started. A copy of the MacPack is also on the SD card, giving access to a very large number of additional apps and games.

In short, leaking capacitors, bad batteries, corrosion, old grease & oil, and magnetic breakdown are taking our digital history from us. Every vintage computer will eventually cease to function, in some cases irrevocably, if we don't take the necessary steps to repair and protect them. Emulation and software archives are an important part of protecting this digital past (support the Internet Archive, Macintosh Garden and others - they are doing great work!) - but being able to run it on real hardware and experience it as it was is just as important. Taking the steps now to keep these machines operational preserves them for future generations to enjoy. It also gives peace of mind that you receive a machine that will be operational and able to be enjoyed as it was supposed to be.
