Hi all,
I'm definitely not parting any machine I have, nor do I want to make money out of them.
However, I like the idea of having a machine worth more money, it makes me feel like I have a worthwhile collection (and the wife is impressed with a return on investment - she doesn't know I won't be selling them in time...). What is a Mac 512K upgraded to Mac Plus spec worth compared to a Mac 512? Which would be more of a rarity? This may also decide which way I go. With the current 512K, there is not much incentive to do much with it, as the front case is chipped and marked, the analogue board is iffy, and the machine looks like it has had some use. It may just end up being a parts machine for other compacts.
I am not the sort of collector who will be using this machine on a regular basis, or trying to utilise the RAM to do anything out of the ordinary.
