Macintosh 128k - April 5, 2024

This is the second vintage Macintosh I have acquired. It is a Macintosh 128k that was upgraded to 512k of RAM on the logic board, had a Dove MacSnap RAM upgrade, and an 800k floppy disk drive. The Mac needed some work, I had to remove the RAM upgrade board because it had a fault and had to change a few capacitors on the logic board. The internal frame has also been sandblasted to remove the corrosion. This is a neat machine, but likely won't be with me long term. The floppy disk drive was the worst I have ever worked on, but it is now fully operational and may actually be one of my most reliable drives. The display is quite nice and bright with minimal burn in. Updated 8/14/2025
