Hey all,
This is my first officially posted conquest. Although I've had more in the past, this one is especially cool to me. I got a EBay Local Pickup Macintosh Portable for about $5. It was missing a handle and the drive bay side of the cover, but everything else was untouched - it even came with the internal modem! Anyways, I bought a new battery and adapter for it and tried booting it up. After a couple errors, I checked to see if I had leaky caps. Not to the surprise of anyone, I did! I cleaned it up quickly with alcohol and a toothbrush, and although the speaker still doesn't work, it boots off of HD! I've included some pics of my progress, and am likely to get it recapped.
