I just recapped my Classic II, a bit of a pain because everything is cramped but doable.

I picked up a Classic II yesterday for $3 at a church rummage sale. Today I finally got the chance to power it on and check it out. Unfortunately I was greeted with this:

Just water from the storm drain backing up? How long was it under water? Can you take a picture?

I remember watching the video of Steve Jobs saying that they had to eliminate all the clones to get back to business.

Yep, I kept my Mac II going great for years, temporarily had it on my basement floor and it flooded. Completely submerged the Mac II and likely some of the monitor as well. Cables …
I started the restoration of the Macintosh SE today. It had been sitting with its cover off for a week, and had been sitting for a week before that. Today I made my CRT discharge t…
