I was given a Mac Plus a while back... and never tested it....
Decided to give it a quick test...
Other than needing a boot floppy which I'll have to dig up.... it powers
on, video
looks good, monitor is stable and all...
But there is a faint sound (think of it as a cross between crickets
chirping and clicks)
and after a while, it smells to me a bit like ozone at the top of the Mac.
I'm thinking maybe high voltage leakage ?
Anyone have any experiences with these old Macs that can point me at
what to look
for ?
It might well be OK as it is... but I don't want to risk damage occuring
as other
than a few dings and scrapes and a bit of yellowing, it is in remarkable
condition.
