Why do they always seem to have a 512k board in them?!?!
Can't complain, I got it for $80. Gave it a good clean and it looks great. Floppy drive gummed up, boots with no sound, but asks for a disk. That's 4 I own now, and each of them has a crap disk drive, and all but one have a 512k board.

My problem seems to be finding 128k/512k machines that don't have a Mac Plus board in them. You should consider yourself lucky finding one with a 512k board. At least you don't have to hack up the case or use a Plus bucket for those and can restore them back to original condition without much hassle. Try finding an empty 128k or 512k case bucket to restore an upgraded 128k/512k machine back to stock some time and you'll see what I mean. The buckets are harder to find than the motherboards most of the time.
