Shipping to USA is flat rate $96.50, but if you are in California,please send me a message BEFORE you buy and I will reduce the shippingto $52.25 for is only one (1) of these in stock as I start this.(And for future reference to myself and others, this relates only tothe "Synhouse Macintosh Bomb!" computers I've just started selling thatwere sealed airtight in a time capsule for 18+ years, in the rest of mystock I have many, probably still dozens, of PowerMac desktops andtowers, maybe upwards of 30-40 of them left, might be 5-10 7500s alone,I'm not sure, but most of them have been accessed over the last 20years in stock, moved around, had stuff piled on them, hard drivestaken from them, etc., so that's a totally separate matter than these"Synhouse Macintosh Bomb!" computers, which are something that no oneelse has on , period. But I'm sure this is the only 7200/75 in thisparticular lot, all of which can be seen in the photo of the hugeflight case.)It looks like the next to be listed are the G3 desktop and the 8500/150w/180mhz 604e upgrade, those have both been brought home for *#*^#$@*#$&)^%@*! The Synhouse Macintosh B O M B is going off! 18 Apple machines sealed in an airtight flight case for 18 years hasjust been cracked open this year after being located in the far back ofthe warehouse for a very, very quick move of 20,000+ pounds of gear,nearly all of it flight cased in HUGE flight cases. This is massive Macstock, stacked over my head and it's two stacks of it, and it was allsealed up and all of it or nearly all of it will be offered on ,one at a time.This is a MASSIVE collection of 17 Power Macintosh computers and oneApple Scanner A9M0337. Some background and what led up to this massive stock being timecapsuled for two decades:I probably have or at various times have had more Macintosh computersthan anyone. This includes probably 20 IIfx in stock at one time (I'vehad more IIfx systems than anyone and I may be the last working personin the world who supports them professionally, as used for the musicapps of my clients, and I stupidly threw away 10-15 IIfx logic boardsin the early 2000s because they didn't work and people weren't yettalking about the garbage fake leaky caps Apple used causing most ofthose logic board failures, they could have used the common industrystandard Panasonic caps but instead used fake Panasonic caps and all myClassic, etc. died because of it), and presently these 17 Power Macs tobe offered are maybe a third or slightly less of the Power Macs I stillhave in stock at Synhouse (one at home, two in the garage, two in onestorage, several just like them in another storage, before even gettingto the several stacks of them (mostly Power Macs like 7500 and G3desktops) on the main pallet rack in back I can't even get to, theseare just what I've glimpsed in the last few days of moving around fromplace to place), plus there are G4 graphite towers/mirror door towersstacked over my head about three times over, several Quadra/CentrisNuBus Macs, a good dozen all-in-ones still in stock here, some little512K or whatever those are (the no hard drive type), about 15 originalApple CRTs (this is what takes up 2/3rds of the Mac pallet rack, neatlystacked between cardboard pads) plus 10-20 far better high end CRTs(Sony, Mitsubishi, etc.) for them, several of those crap Apple Cinemaor Studio LCDs with the idiot ADC connection, and box after box afterbox of PSUs, logic boards, keyboards, mice, floppy drives, CD drives,IDE and SCSI hard drives, all of it, there's loads.I have always had to provide these to my clients (music clients for aspecial music system that usually uses one Mac with special software asa host), but when was hot 2001-2004 I was selling a lot of Macs on just because there were too many coming in, I was sometimesgetting 2-3 pallets of Macs and original Apple CRTs, something like15-25 computers in a single day, and could only keep so many of them,and I liked doing a lot of shipping, it made the mail order businessmore efficient. But really died hard 2003-2004 for this kind ofstuff, just too many sellers with average selling prices falling, and Imoved away from and and almost completely stopped purchasing Macs inhuge shipments by 2005 or so. I have gotten in another 50 Macs sincethen, but that's just one or a few at a time from the music studiosthat Synhouse is buying out on a regular basis.The basic work procedure for me back in 2002-2004 (when the most Macscame in) was just to check them with power very quickly, with varyinglevels of completeness. Considering my suppliers were good and theseweren't old computers (i.e. getting late 1998 G3 computers in 2002,plus some various Power Macs going back to 1994 or so, with the 7100and 7200/7300/7500, etc.), the usual results were this: Over 95% ofthem, or every single one in some shipments, would power onimmediately, and boot up immediately (and those that didn't and had theflashing disk icon showing needed to have the RAM sticks or hard drivecables removed/reseated, and possibly the crap Quantum stiction drivepulled out for a little twist in the hand to free it up), and I'd seethe computer was working and usually (2/3rds of the time at least) thefloppy drive was not working, and the CD working 95% of the time. Atthat point, unfortunately, I'd just presumed it was good and found itwas, and I wouldn't even mark it as such at all, I'd just put it instock without any markings, either short term or long term, and ifshort term and to be sold on , I'd soon pull it out and test itagain, that time giving it a major test, making note of all the detailslike RAM and OS, then listing it. They would only be marked with a tapetag with writing if they were bad, which was usually because a harddrive had been removed, once in a while it was a bad PSU or logicboard. Later on I got smarter and would write all that down the firsttime I looked at it, good or bad, and stick it on the side, but notthen, I only noted it if it was bad. Most Macs came in here in 2002, probably, plus nearly that amount in2003-2004 combined, and 90% of them were sold, parted out and sold, orgood parts sold and the rest recycled if bad. But there were always alot of Macs sitting around that just came in, and once being testedout, I had to put them somewhere. In 2004 one of Janet Jackson's Synclaviers (the biggest electronicmusic systems of all time already, but either of these two were biggerthan any others out there, both doublewide racks and both over my head,all standard doublewide systems were maybe as tall as eye level, notoverhead) had been stripped out and I had the empty case, big enoughfor two people to stand inside, so without any forethought ororganization or sorting, I just put 18 Apple machines in there (theones you see in the group photo in the gallery, though a few are on theback side out of sight) with some cardboard padding, and sealed it upwith the front and rear lids on it, aluminum track to aluminum track,foam to foam, these are AIRTIGHT cases for moving a $500,000 musicsystem, that was in the very back dryest part of the warehouse, and Ididn't take anything out of it for 18 years until 2022. As such, none of these has been exposed to any light, dust, or even AIRfor 18 years. None of these Macs were plugged in for 18 years, and many of them werestock sitting here from 2002 or even 2001 and then I wasn't usingthese, just checking them usually the week they first came in, so mostof these were probably tested good in 2002 and stacked here for twoyears before going into this huge sealed airtight flight case. With no light and no air for 18 years, this has left these Applecomputers with a very clean surface with as little oxidation as youcould possibly find nowadays. No one else has this but Synhouse, 18Apple machines sealed airtight for 18 years. Any dirt, dust, scratches,writing, stickers, yellowing from office lights or sunlight, etc., wasall there in 2002 and there has been none of that and NO wear and NOhours on ANY of these Apple computers in 18+ years. No one else on has that. No one.This collection has (1) 7200/75, (7) 7300/180, (1) 7300/200, (1)8100/80AV, (1) 8500/150 w/180mhz 604e upgrade, (5) G3 desktop, (1)Server G3 266mhz M4405, and one Apple Scanner A9M0337. This is the Synhouse Macintosh B O M B going off sale in this listing is the Power Macintosh named in the titleUNUSED FOR 20 YEARS! Apple Power Macintosh 8100/80AV M1688 NuBus LocalPU LAmanufactured date unknown (but I estimate from IC date codes it waslate 1995, so this is 27 years old now)No box, instructions/user manuals, display, keyboard, mouse, oraccessories are included. Just what is shown is included. Some of thephotos may be actual Apple CRT display screenshots to show it working,OS, resources, etc., this is done on one of mine for testing purposes(usually my favorite, the Apple 15AV), but no Apple CRT display isincluded in this moving to sell certain things I now know I won't need for mycontinuing business and while looking for them in the new warehousespace opened 2/2021, I have found loads of items I should sell that Iforgot I had, like these Power Macs. Good move on my part, these arevaluable now and mine are the best on , absolutely sealed airtightin a padded flight case for decades, relatively cool and completelydry, no mold, mildew, or even oxidation on these. No soggy see my other listings for the other Power Macs from this sealedcase that I have listed or will be listing as soon as possible. I havestarted with the right hand stack and am listing them one at a timegoing down to the bottom, in some months I will get to the left handstack and sell those to the bottom, I'm dealing off the top of thedeck, no cherry picking or jumping around on them, top down, next row,top am bringing these home one at a time, as time permits, to photographand test for , and they will be put right back in the same airtightcase, each one individually plastic wrapped or bagged once cleaned upand I don't want any marks or fingerprints getting on them, and therethey will stay in the back of the warehouse for the duration of thelisting (I will not sell these cheaply), and in the new much largerplace I flipped this 500 pound case around so I can get the front coveroff and I'll be easily able to get in and out of this case as needed,unlike the last 18 years when it had 1,000 pounds stacked on top of itand 20,000 pounds stacked in front of it blocking all access to If you would like to buy this for $50 less without the harddrive, please send me a message BEFORE buying it and tell me, and I'llchange the listing and lower the price. A lot of people are pullingthose hard drives out for SCSI2SD, but I still use them professionallyin large numbers, I need choice. This is a near mint Mac that has not only beensealed in an airtight flight case for 18+ years, but it was almostnever even used when new in the 1990s, it still has the originalfactory OS installation (possibly CD updated with an add-on, it mayhave shipped with OS 7.5.2 and been CD updated after that), and wasused just to be a node and administer a network, it has NOTHING but anetwork admin program KeyServer running, and all I see in the harddrive applications is Stuffit Expander 5.5 and, lulz, unused AOLInstant Messenger and Netscape. This is the only computer I can recallseeing like this, so I think it had very, very little hands-on use,which is probably why it's so nice and didn't already have the latchesfor the case top busted off when I got it as most of them already did.Most of these Macs I have show a lot of software information, and userfiles, and I used to get them in, check them immediately, andfrequently wipe that data with a clean install (usually 8.5), and writeall the details and working status on a piece of tape stuck on theright side. But not this one, I was puzzled, it appears I didn't wipeit or put any notes on it. When I pulled it out for the first time thisweek and started it up, it started right up immediately, but I thoughtit had me locked out without a password, already showing me that errorbox for KeyServer, you can see this in the photos, so I restarted it tosee if it did this again, and it did, but that time I was smarter andjust clicked the file menu and quit that program, then I could testeverything and browse it to make you the actual screenshots you seehere.This is an Apple Power Macintosh 7200/75 desktop model M3979 with the75mhz PowerPC 601 processor and 32mb RAM (I have separate 30-pin,72-pin, and 84-pin Mac RAM in stock if someone wants me to list it hereon ). This Apple computer is from 1995-1996. One aside here that may only relate to this one computer and not any ofthe others in this huge case: This has an Apple factory QuantumFireball 500mb SCSI hard drive with the updated original OS from the1990s. I normally did a clean install (that I did sometime between 2002and 2004, not now, I did hundreds of those just to get client data offthe computers in stock) of Apple OS 8.5.1. But not this one. This harddrive works well and is VERY quiet. The hard drive in this looks mintcondition, like brand new, as if it were never unmounted. See thephotos, it's beautiful. It also has a 1.4mb floppy drive. I haven't tested the floppy drive andwon't (in my experience with testing hundreds of Macs, the floppydrives already didn't work, at least not the first time, when they wereonly 4-8 years old, I frequently had to make systems with workingfloppy drives for my clients because the special music program softwareinstall was from floppy disk only, and I would end up spending half aday or two half days pulling one or two boxes of floppy drives from thewarehouse, testing them, cleaning them, retesting them, etc. to find agood one, but I eventually made a special setup installation CD to getaround that so I rarely have to deal with Mac floppy drives the lastten years), so assume the floppy doesn't work and won't unless youspend time testing it, exercising it, and trying it out again, orreplacing it to do all that again. These 1990s Apple floppy drives areunconscionably bad; A Mitsumi D359MD3 1.44mb floppy drive that I couldget from my computer supplier for $8.21 (2002 price) was a betterfloppy drive than any 1.4mb 3.5" floppy drive Apple ever used, any ofwhich would surely be $80-$200 if you had to buy another one, and ifyou used it, then you surely would. This has an Apple factory AppleCD 600i 4X SCSI CD-ROM that has beentested, works well, and is very quiet. BTW, these are excellent drives.It has no cards installed. And the flap that flips up over those cards,I did not and would not lift that up, this molded ABS plastic trashbreaks if you even look at it sideways, and there were no cards tounseat and re-seat anyway. NONE of the hinges or tabs on that piece arebroken and I won't break them. This is as out of a time capsule and thebuyer will receive the contents of that time capsule I did notdismantle anything because it powered up flawlessly after being putaway for 18 years. I did, stupidly, by instinct and not by thinking,think the viewers would like to know the model number of theCD-ROM and have proof of that, so I pressed from the back and depressedthe little tab in front to release it...........and it broke off in twotiny pieces. As you can see in the photos I am including an unbrokenCD-ROM sled and you can install it yourself. It's fully tested,sealed/wrapped in plastic, and back in the warehouse, I'm not takingthe lid off again. The DB-15 Apple video output, the microphone input, and the speakersoutput is on the logic board.This is a very, VERY clean Power Macintosh, just look at the photos. The 7200/75 had 3 PCI slots, nothing is installed, so there are stillthree slots left open. This is a super, super nice computer, it has allthree of the original factory PCI slot blank covers still in placethere.Generally speaking, the file dates on all these Power Macs I'm sellingsuggest that they were used in the late 1990s, and some probably notfor two years before I got them 2002-2004, but some had some files onthem from 2003, in my recollection.The PRAM battery is surely dead. This model can start without abattery, and this computer works perfectly, powers up immediately, itjust has the "wrong clock time" clock error message because it needs anew battery, and I normally don't replace those.The condition of this is truly excellent. It has almost no scuffs orscratches on it, as you can see from the photos. The photos are taken in sunny natural light so you can see everythingclearly. This Mac has relatively little yellowing, and more to thefront top than the back or face. Again, this has been sealed in anairtight case and in the dark for 18 years, and as I write this isalready wrapped in plastic and back in the same sealed case.It has built-in video which I think I have set to do 1,024 x 768. Thisis the resolution needed for my professional clients so I set all myMacs to that if they are able to do it. This one is able to do it. Ican't vouch for this, it's from EveryMac, but "...With the default 1 MBof VRAM, this model supports a single display at 512x384, 640x480,800x600 or 832x624 at 24-bit, and 1024x768 or 1152x870 at 16-bit.".The logic board is like new. Actually almost everything inside, too.Just look at the photos. The electrical shields in the front look rustyand they are, because they are made of cheap ungalvanized steel with avery, very thin and cheap plating on it and they, as you can see here,decay and rust out even in a completely dry, sealed, airtight case. 7200/75 is as nice as they come. I'd normally, BTW, sell these fora little less, but not this one. Not this one. My personal computer for professional use at home with Synclaviers(building and repairing those brought or shipped to me) is also a7200/75, and it is the most reliable Apple computer I have every had,and I have had and STILL have more Macs than anyone reading this, ithas been set up here and used almost daily, or sometimes not for amonth or so, since either 2012 or 2009, I can't even remember, Ibrought it in to replace my IIfx which was an expensive pain to use,and it has NEVER failed to start up, not even ONCE. Though I shouldnote that one is one of the fairly rare ones that has the IBM SCSIdrive (made in Hungary or something like that), not one of thesegarbage Quantum drives with the stiction. Now, those goulash IBMs arewidely known to usually be garbage, and people have found some made onsome days of the week to be better than others, and some are good andsome are bad, but the one I have is AWESOME, even if it looks kindacrappy (a lot of those IBM SCSI drives look like the school scienceproject of a slow kid, what with the plastic flexible PCB/cables rolledaround the sides, exposed copper foil, etc., really trashy looking, anda lot of those, like some of the IBM DeathStars, failed almost rightoff the bat, lulz my code programmer overseas wanted some new computergear instread of all cash, so he got me to get him a new IBM DeathStarfrom Fry's, like 20gb or something, and it was DOA, so he sent it BACKto my beautiful country, and I went through returning it to IBMwarranty service, and they sent me a new one...................and thenlater sent me ANOTHER new one, they just wanted rid of those man, getthose Japanese in here to buy this dump already...). So yeah, the7500/75 is a computer model I live by and swear sale includes only the desktop computer, and no other peripherals(monitor, keyboard, mouse...) are included. I used one of my own Applemonitors (15AV, my favorite) and one of my own M2980 Apple Designkeyboards. If you need to buy a keyboard, just ask and I'll make alisting for one if time permits. you need, I can supply other Apple-related items. I have dozens ofdisplays, keyboards, mice, and other drives and accessories. Check theother Synhouse listings or inquire if there is something you don't see,if I have it I can make a special listing for you. Otherwise, I'llprobably list it anyway in due will be very, very safely packed for shipment. I will pack it intoa cardboard carton with solid foam, and, if possible, double-box itinto a second outer carton.Shipping to USA is flat rate $96.50, but if you are in California,please send me a message BEFORE you buy and I will reduce the shippingto $52.25 for you.Outside USA shipping is with the Global Shipping program.Synhouse has the most extreme shipping experience in the electronicmusic business and as much as anyone on , period. With 32 years inthe international mail order business, Synhouse has what it takes toget it done.Free local pickup in the Los Feliz district of L.A. is okay if you canwork around my busy schedule, as I am very much looking forward to notpacking and shipping this. It will take me 3-4 hours of company time Iwon't be paid for to pack and ship this as carefully as I do.Please see my other listings for SCSI drive enclosures and cables thatmight be of interest.
