I got this machine years ago but never pulled it off the shelf to work on it. After working through some others I finally put it on the bench.

The floppy drive was super frozen, finally got all the old grease out of it and made it work smoothly again. The pressure pad had come off and not only did I find it in the bottom of the case, I found an extra one!

I was really amazed at the condition of this thing, it has a few dings from some numb nut prying it open. It looks like the logic board and the analog board were never worked on. The foam tape holding the protector on the analog board appear to be factory (the board may have been replaced by Apple I suppose) The yoke connector is not burned at all. I don't think I have ever seen an Apple security lock, only the 3rd party ones...

It is so pretty I thought I would share, her 39th birthday is coming up in a few months.
