Indeed my friend, I sure did put it on there as soon as I actually found out where they put the actual serial number (it took me sleeping on it before I found it was in the same place as the serial number on the Mac SE I once owned but a long time ago started Sad Macing and I unfortunately had to let it go. Once I found out it was in that place, I plopped her in there and I even put that while the primary use was indeed general use (once I get the CRT to deflect horizontally again) it's whole secondary purpose in life is to relieve stress. It is a great relief to me to have a 128k, which I can honestly say if any other compact I came across had the screen burn-in and the horizontal deflection issue both I could have never justified liberating it. But, since it was a Mac 128k made in the USA and it was an original M0001, for $25 (which it's in way better condition than one thread I looked at some of the Macs on eBay in there, or else it wouldn't be here even with it being an (as far as I can tell) original 128k. I mean, this thread may be obsolete, but I found it amazing to compare my 128k to some of the compacts people were buying and selling on eBay during this thread's run: "http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4202&start=175".
I mean, someone removed my 128k's PRAM battery before any issues developed, the floppy drive at least tries to work (I bought off of eBay a 400K floppy with a System Folder to fully test it with once I get the screen going fully, the inserting and ejecting process is smooth, silky and problem free); as far as I can tell without successfully getting the CRT going it has the original 128k logic board and not the retroactive 128k/512k combo board, and I also need the CRT going to see just how much memory it has (if it's been upgraded at all, someone would have had to desolder all the 128k chips and put 512k chips in on a wholesale replacement, there is no piggybacking of the memory upgrade on the original 128k chips at all).
As far as I can tell, until my Christmas money gets here, all we have left to do is take it by some nice fellow I finally found who unlike everyone locally I had talked to before, is at least willing to take a look and see what's what, and if he can indeed fix it, to give me an estimate (since I don't want my 128k to get worse in shipping, I was heavily looking for someone local to me who would be willing to look at it, and this person is, praise God...)
Thank you all for showing an interest in my post and have a great day all!
