Its probably worth more now than what you paid for it. Unfortunately the
capacitors on those older Macs are known to fail. Standard wisdom is to recap
any new-to-you machine since the caps will leak and cause damage.On the one
hand its kind of rotten that it happens, on the other hand 30 years ago I'm
sure no one thought that computer would still be used in 30 years.

The only old computer of any interest I have is a Mac II I got from my next
door neighbor when the company he worked for surplused out all the Mac equpment
-- probably around 1995 or so.
Got it for something like $25 -- not bad for a computer that cost $10,000 new
minus monitor.
Pretty spiff for 1990 -- 24 MB of ram (in the days when most MS-DOS boxes could
only use 1MB), 20MB hard drive that I had to replace shortly.
Used it for the home-brew club newsletter for years, and it probably still
works. Only kept it because it was SO expensive new....
