Found this nice Classic II system for $ 20. Can't say that i was ever really excited about getting a Classic, but considering this was a Classic II in good shape i couldn't pass. Sure, it's no SE/30, but the additional 8 MHZ makes quite a bit of difference! And it doesn't look bad at all. It has the stock 4 MB of RAM, so i will upgrade that, and maybe swap in a larger hard drive in time as i have a 1 GB sitting around doing nothing.

What really surprised me was how much lighter this unit is say compared to an SE. They really went on the cheap with the manufacturing at this stage in the game; looks nice but the innards will be problematic no matter what based on what i've read. When i upgrade the RAM, i will also wash the motherboard and check for bad caps, and change the pram battery. The printer seems to work, just need a new ink cartridge.
