Classic full of goo
I got a Macintosh classic today for a few euro's.
The seller said it sounded like it was working, but the screen was nog functioning. Since it could be an easy fix it went to get it.
When I got home I saw some goo dripping from the ventilation holes. The outside is in great shape, but the inside has been eaten by battery goo.
This looks like a huge amount of damage that I can't fix. To bad.
I guess i'll be on the lookout for a classic, in working condition but with a bad outside.

Never say never...just ask Uniserver...http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22035&start=0.
The logicboard doesn't look too bad actually, no components missing. I would try cleaning it up and assess the damage then.

I agree, you have nothing to lose anyway.
Start with a toothbrush and baking soda and see what happens.
You never know. There could still be a living machine in there. Try cleaning it first (like the others said) and go from there.
Looks fairly isolated to that corner. Give it a good clean as suggested. Could mostly be cosmetic damage.
If you turn it on, what happens?
If you get a chime, then attempt a ressurection.
If you get a sad Mac, send it to uniserver.
If you get a big bang, send it to the tip.
