Everything seems to work perfectly fine, even the external 20MB SCSI hard drive sounds healthy. CRT is very sharp and bright. RAM has been upgraded to 4MB. It's dirty, but not scratched or cracked. I think it will clean up real nice. At price of 45 euros for the whole set, I just couldn't resist 😁

I started taking this thing apart for cleaning. I expected the hard drive to be filled with dust bunnies because of the fan, but no, it looks almost like factory fresh inside. Very minimal dust. Even the fan has almost no dust buildup. This unit must have very low power on hours count.

If in the picture bellow where the red arrows are pointing, there are RIFA 0.01uf , 0.1uf etc capacitors installed, I advice you to replace them ASAP. Those caps are known to fail in kind of a bad way even when they look ok.
That's very good advice, thanks. The mac itself also has couple of them. They have cracks all over them. I think I'll replace all of those time bombs now that i have everything already disassembled.
