RAM missing, ROM intact, still boots.
Hard drive is dead, speaker squeals, you get the :?: logo. Something keeps clicking every few seconds to startup, probably the drive. I could probably handle a recap, since you say they are somewhat common. If it's something extraordinarily valuable, it's going to uniserver.
The real question: What is the value? If it's like $1k or something ridiculous, it's being sold, if it's 50-200 it's going in the closet. Usually with prototypes you get the FCC warnings, but this looks like a regular LC, even approved by the FCC on the bottom sticker, unless it's a different case.
My Color Classic also has the brownish ceramic ROM chips, and I am used to seeing black ROMs.
Noob moment here, when it comes to prototype/oddball stuff I go :-/ 8-o :?:
So I am not really sure what I am dealing with here.
