    Macintosh SE Hard Drive Issue

    Hi all, I recently purchased a Macintosh SE with the flashing floppy disc with the question mark. Knowing it had a bad hard drive, I went and grabbed a parts computer with a known good hard drive. Booted right up, worked great, was playing games and everything.

    Old Macintosh carry on plane

    Poor, poor Macintosh SE...

    This arrived in the mail today. I'm devastated. Anyone have a spare front bezel/shell? ;_; It was packaged well and seemed to have adequate bubble wrap and other protection. It just seems like it was dropped prior to shipment. This was from Shopgoodwill.com BTW. Makes me QUITE leery on ordering...
