Looks to be in very good condition, how does the keyboard and mouse look? Makes me wonder how that 1984 machine still works yet SE/30's seem to have all kinds of issues (could it be they used thru hole capacitors instead of the aluminum surface mount tin can ones)?
To be honest I am not sure what I would do with a compact pre SE, that seems to be where I draw the line in conquests (SE, SE FDHD, SE/30, Classic II).
The 128k KB, is a little smaller than the Plus KB....

Mine wasn't too terribly yellowed...and it cleaned up..ok, for it's age.

I did pull off all the keys, cleaned 'em and the KB..and put 'em back on, and it works just fine...

Tearing down a 128k, and cleaning the heck outta..I'm amazed how simple that mac was...it sure created a stir when it first hit the market place in early 1984...But the lack of an fan,did cause some heat related issues, and board failures..especially the flyback...
