Well, I just got this from the person:

It is an original 68020 Mac II with the 800k floppy drive. The original hard drive was upgraded to a 500 MB SCSI drive if I remember correctly. I have to drag it out of the closet to confirm, but I remember 500 MB. I know it has had a RAM upgrade as well, but I can't remember what it is up to. It has the Apple Mac II video card in it, but I don't recall that much about it. I don't have a monitor specifically for it. The last time I used it about a year ago, I hooked it up to my 17" Apple studio VGA monitor using a Liberty video adapter which I had lying around. I recall that it booted up and worked fine, but there was a color shift on the display. I may not have had the settings right for the Liberty adapter. It's been since 1996 since I last used the II regularly and I never used it with the 17" studio monitor I have now. The II was finally replaced with a Quadra. I brought the II back out a year later after the Quadra succumbed to a lighting strike. After that I obtained a G3 PowerMac which is for sale as well and the II went in the closet for good. I know that there is some interest in old Macs, maybe not so much in the original II's, but I figured I would try to find it a home before binning it. I do have an old Apple ADB keyboard. I may have two, I just have to dig. I also have some old Apple ADB mice and I believe a couple of old modems that are compatible with the II. I even have a Mac compatible Connectix video camera from that era. I also have some old software, games and a drafting package that I used on the II. Well that's about all I remember for now. Let me know if you have any other questions.
sounds like quite a deal. I may even see if I can trade them anything.
