Hi Quadraman,
I did read about your acquisition and disappointment (and a few others) when doing some research. I think JDW and TheNixer are the only two with working Hyperdrives? JDW's posts have been great in documenting his.
I hear you on the "adding stickers" part but those stickers are not easy to find and they are placed as they would have been coming out of the GCC factory when the upgrade was put in. I do get nervous when someone says they haven't powered it up because they don't have the cord but I've looked at their history and the person doesn't sell computers. I think they've sold one other in the past and it was a laptop. In any case, a 512k board or even a Mac Plus board is usually pretty reliable. We'll see how it goes.
