Nice score. I was fortunate enough to acquire my 128k before SJ passed and prices skyrocketed. The power board needed the transformer replaced, but I managed to find a complete power board that was fully functional cheap but then when I put that in and powered it up I got a sad Mac and error code indicating a faulty RAM chip on the board. I've pulled the 128k board and replaced it with a 512k board until I can find a place where I can get a replacement RAM chip that won't make me buy 100 of them to fill their minimum order requirement. I considered salvaging one off of a broken 128k board but that's even an expensive proposition just to get one RAM chip with the number of people who bid for them whenever they become available whether they work or not. I haven't seen a broken one go for less than $60 or a working one for less than $125 for a long time, and I'm talking about the first design motherboard not the redesigned one that was shared with the 512k.
