Battery acid blew all over the inside of the cases which were brittle to begin with. The cases sat outside so long the colors of the Apple emblems were almost faded off. Most of the motherboards have so much battery acid on them that the entire battery cage has rotted off of the motherboard. The acid eats off the traces screwing up all the connections. These are not resale or even reuse quality. I keep anything even half decent, I have a stack of about 10 good IIci's (that just need new caps), but these ones were just past their time.

However, I'll gladly ship a board to anyone who is interested for the cost of materials and postage. I'll try to choose one of the better ones that still has a battery cage. They are crawling, however, with tiny little bugs that settled on them whilst outside.

Did you salvage any of the plastic reset/interrupt button extender things? I could use one of those.
Yes, we got a good lot of these, at least 6, how about $2 each + shipping. Send me a PM.

I also have about 15 of the NuBus slot covers. $1.50 each + shipping

I also have IIci lids that survived. Not too bad condition, light yellowing, $3 each + shipping.

The PSU's are all drying out right now. We need to take them apart to check for any plant or bug life and we'll start firing them up.
