For Sale is a Macintosh Quadra 700
This Macintosh Quadra 700 has been fully restored and is ready for any collector or someone who wants to enjoy a vintage Macintosh. This is of course the Macintosh model that was featured in Jurassic Park.
The power supply has also been recapped for reliability with a high quality cap kit.This is the later revision Quadra 700 with all tantalum caps on the motherboard so no chance of electrolyte damage there. The pram battery was replaced with a CR2032 adapter that will not leak or corrode either.The original SCSI HD has been upgraded with a BlueSCSI SD card adapter. This dramatically improves reliability and makes it easy to install new software on the Mac. The included SD card includes System 7.5 and System 7.1, and a variety of games and applications to get you started. The Mac Pack with 1000's of applications and games is set up as a second partition. Other supported operating systems can be installed on request - message before purchase for other options.
The superdrive floppy drive has been cleaned, lubricated, and tested and the original eject gear has been replaced for reliability.
The case on this Quadra 700 is very good with some scratches here and there - take a look at the listings in the photo. All of the original rubber feet are still present. There are no cracks.

In short, leaking capacitors, bad batteries, corrosion, old grease & oil, and magnetic breakdown are taking our digital history from us. Every vintage computer will eventually cease to function, in some cases irrevocably, if we don't take the necessary steps to repair and protect them. Emulation and software archives are an important part of protecting this digital past (support the Internet Archive, Macintosh Garden and others - they are doing great work!) - but being able to run it on real hardware and experience it as it was is just as important. Taking the steps now to keep these machines operational preserves them for future generations to enjoy. It also gives peace of mind that you receive a machine that will be operational and able to be enjoyed as it was supposed to be.
