Yo compacters everywhere, Of all of the compacts that have crossed my path, two have been 128k Macs. One came wholly intact, lookin' clean, and smellin' better. It is a perfect original 128k complete in its Apple branded canvas Mac Sack. The second 128k was all there in a case that was horrible. Its case was badly "yellowed" in patches from a number of stickers afixed to it. On its case was a shipyard property inventory metal plate fixed with epoxy. The serial number from above the brightness control was gone. A security ring had been wrenched from its slot. Through another door walked a defunct 512k upgraded from a 128k. The case of this upgrade was another perfect case. It now houses the innards of that shipyard 128k lookin' good and smellin' better. The 400k floppy drives from these two 128ks and from a small number of 512ks have all been dysfunctional to one degree or another. A thorough cleaning restored enough of these drives that the 128ks and two 512ks at hand have working drives leaving me ! with one precious spare. And through another door walks a new-in-the-box external floppy drive with a 400k drive in it. Keep pokin' around and you will eventually find all the pieces to build a perfectly good 128k Mac.
