Washing them? Interesting. When I get it opened I'll take some pictures of the board and caps and let you guys see what they look like.
Yep the casing is in great condition (bar the yellowing) There's a couple of small scratches on the right hand side inside a non-yellowed spot, so I'm guessing there must have been a microphone holder attached there at some stage.
The original system was 7.1. But it took quite a while to load and even moving files into folders or deleting them took a number of seconds with the busy cursor popping up. Felt like everything was happening in slow motion. MTP did say the directory structure on the disk needed repair so perhaps that was to blame. In any case after re-initializing the disk and putting on 6.0.8 it's flying now (and without virtual memory, which 7 was using).
I might try 7 again at some stage (the biggest problem I have here is finding disks that will format all the way) but for now I'm gonna spend some quality time in System 6 as I've never really done that (apart from my early forays into Mac emulation with vMac). I had to tear myself away from the Wheel game (word puzzle). It's one of those games you decide to have a quick bash at and find yourself hooked. I've uploaded it here (MacBinary) for anyone who wants to have a look.
