What is it with LC 475's that I never see them on ebay, craigslist or anywhere?  Loved that machine, and would kinda like to have one, but I just never see them around.

From my experience they have fairly bad issues with cap rot and also were from the Maxell battery era so a lot of them have had boards rendered unsalvagable, or at least beyond easy repair, at a time when they really were not worth saving... They were in buyback centers and hock shops, garage sales for small change or on dumpster piles everywhere a bit over 10 years ago. I've thrown out at least 3 that had badly rotted boards after stripping the PSU's and drives out of them. Unfortunately the one decent working one I had was victim to an exploded battery itself. Ah well... Hindsight is a bish.
