I just acquired a Mac LC,Mac Quadra 610, and a Mac II Si. I have one mono monitor and one Color What do you all know about these machines? I am looking to sell them soon as I run em clean. Is anyone interested so I know what I am up against here in the collectors market?
Any information would be much appreciated
Are you handy with a soldering iron? The all need recapping
The biggest misnomer in the vintage mac community is that if the caps *look* ok and the machine works that the caps are fine. They aren't, they all need replacing (at least the ones on the logicboard do, the PSU caps aren't as critical, i tend to replace them once a PSU drops out (but if that happens replace all the caps on the secondary side of the PSU, not just the ones at fault)). The problem with caps is that the electrolyte in them is both corrosive and conductive, and even if you can't see any leakage i am willing to bet you would see little pools under the caps when you remove them
Also remove the PRAM batteries from them, my possibly prototype IIx had a tiny battery leak, to me 3 months or so to track down the fault... The IIsi and LC are fine without PRAM Batteries but i think the 610 needs one to boot
But those three are nice machines, i don't expect you'll have too much trouble shifting them 
Thanks Maxx, yes I know how to solder quite well. So replace the whole set on each mobo, clean out the motherboard, I usually use 90% alcohol and immerse them in it, as I do with all my electronics that are faulty and let it sit for a bit or get ahold of some deoxit and have at it,(use qtips whatever I need to clear the junk out so the trace lines are clear, get the lines all cleaned and look at the trace lines under florescent lights after its dry,check what i need order it and get a circuit pen and restamp all the breaks in the ic board, and then I work it little by little back together using a pencil thin soldering iron,flux and a desoldering iron. Going over and removing what needs to be replaced one by one. Its a tedious job, but it keeps me in check. If i feel i dont have the time I part the units out or sell them whole. I also know how to carefully restore the cases as well...that is very touchy overdo it and they become brittle.
Looks like you know what your doing there I wish you good luck
I got it under control, pain is my issue right now with the weather changes ...as usual
