Scrounging through the bins at a local GoodWill Outlet store, I disovered a large beige bag. Unzipped it and found a compact Mac, keyboard and mouse. The bag sported the Apple logo on the tag inside. Grabbed the bunch and "negotiated" $8 as fair and sprinted for home. Plugged the serial # into pickle's decoder and got:
Very cool. After my last trip to our Goodwill Computer Store (Computerworks in Austin, TX) I'm beginning to think that one of their workers subscribes to this list. They have a Mac 128K setup with a $100 price tag on it. I know the unmodified 128K is valued, but $100? They also took that Mac TV I mentioned a while back (or sold it and got one very similar) moved it out from behind the pile of desktops to the front of a table, and have repriced it from $40 to $140. It does not have the original black keyboard nor the mouse.
They still have a couple of Mac Portables and I think the power supplies are in various bins. And a large (more than a dozen, I think) selection of SE/30s. It's kind of fun looking through them to find ones with a card installed in the back.
