also, battery exploded a long time ago.
this is one of them.
some asshole is trying to sell one of these for 400 bucks on my local craigslist, hope a black guy robs him

the sound of a MS-2 with a dying 9 volt is amazing, somebody electrically inclined needs to mod these so it chokes the power and sounds like that all the time

Be an autist and restore them
Then you'd be able to sell them for a good price
Or just donate it to someone you know
[spoiler] Or just mail it to me anon to yugoslavia [/spoiler]

you dont really have to mod it. just get a variable voltage power supply. put a 9v battery adapter innit and ur done.
i have real amps, so i find it shit anyways.

>yellowed wrist rest

They can at least run 10.6 or 10.7, and 10.11 if they're from 2009. RAM can go to 4GB with SODIMMs that people would throw away, maybe 6GB or 8GB. If batteries are dead and you care, you can probably get replacements. Google their model on everymac to see details like max RAM and OS.
You could maybe use them for some kind of server.
And yellowed wrist rests are better than the completely pitted ones I got with pre-unibody MBPs. After 5 years, my old 17" only has pitting at the top front edge.

You could probably just put a 1K pot ln-line with the 9V battery.

don't get me wrong, it's def shit. it sounds good the way a fucked up fuzz pedal sounds good. similar to foxx tone machine, super saturated ZZ Top eliminator sort of sound.
