An update:
I now have the base ÜberSE machine built up - with a good-as-new CRT, the existing yoke (after very thoroughly having all the dust taken off!), an SE front-plastics (a hole drilled near the namebadge like so: [ Macintosh SE ø]) for the hard drive LED to be visible
, the bucket/rear-plastics of the SE/30 (Let's keep 'em guessing! Ehehehe), and overhauled analogues and tested SMPS.
It turns out, of course, that the internal SCSI hard drive doesn't work. Oh well, that's a problem for another day.
At the moment, I'm trying to work out the next phase - space-ification for adding in the CD-ROM drive. I'll also hopefully be getting the chance to either retr0brite or lumpybright the plastics, soon, so the SE/30 will /really/ get peoples' attention
For now, the SE's guts have probably not looked this pristine since the factory, and I'm just happy I didn't break anything.
(A footnote. Sound isn't working. I don't think it's leaking caps, because there is no telltale leakage ANYWHERE. Any ideas? )
