Hi Ed, It sounded like the seller took it to Mac Authority and it just needed the OS installed. I will try to get the disc out with the suggestions from that article. It may be more in need of TLC than I was led to believe.

If that doesn't work power down the mac, power it on holding down the mouse button to eject the cd rom. If that doesn't work, power down the mac, power it on holding down all of these keys, P+R+APPLE+OPTION. Wait for it to chime three times. Now try to start from the cd again.
