Hey everyone. So I just had a pretty interesting find. I came across a Mac 128k along with original box and numeric keypad for $60.

This thing is probably in some of the best shape I've ever seen a unit come in. It has practically no yellowing at all! Anyways, I was all excited and gave her a light cleaning and then plugged her in to discover.. nothing.. When I flick the switch on I hear the power supply make a little juice sound and the light in the disk drive just glows red. No beeps, no screen. So I was about to crack her open, when for some reason I thought I'd check the serial to see how old she was.. Well this is what I got: "Your Macintosh 128 (M0001), with serial number F4010R2M0001, was the 852d manufactured during the 1st week of 1984 in Fremont, CA."

?!?! Am I reading this right?? Did I really come across *THE* 852nd Macintosh made!? The serial on the box is the same but ends with "M1000" though.. Which I thought was strange. Either way it says its the 852nd!

So anyways, now I'm scared to open it and to start tinkering with it. What could be the culprit here? Would it be better to have someone professionally restore this, like is there value at stake here? Not that I'm looking at selling it, but I just want her to work!

Arrg! Soo sad now!

Any suggestions guys?

Thanks!
