Quadra-950#2 Note: If you don't want to pay all this money for shipping for a computer with an incomplete case, for the same price I can sell you just the logic board with all the RAMs, CPU, etc. still in it, bag it for anti-static protection, pack it very carefully physically, then give you free shipping for it, and I keep the rest of the parts. If you would like that, please send me a message BEFORE buying it and tell me, and I'll change the listing to logic board only and free sh...ipping for you.

Shipping to USA is flat rate $93.00, but if you are in California, please send me a message BEFORE you buy and I will reduce the shipping to $55.75 for you.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COMPUTER IS PRICED C H E A P BECAUSE IT IS MISSING THE SIDE/LID.
Because I'm taking a HUGE hit on price here, I'm not including a hard drive. The photos show screenshots of it being tested with one of my own Mac drives running Apple OS 8.1 (which I think is the highest the Quadra 950 can run), but the drive is not included.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the absolute top-of-the-line Apple Macintosh computer from 1993, the Quadra 950. This computer is loaded with 64mb of RAM.
Aside from the missing lid, this is a very, very clean Quadra 950, just look at the photos. The case, all the bezels, everything is present, intact, and unbroken. NONE of those crappy little tabs are broken off. I have more Macs than anyone, and 98% of 1990s Macs have broken pieces and chips of plastic floating around the case, something like a Mac 7500 sounds like a half-empty container of Tic Tacs. Not this Quadra 950. It's unbroken, and the way I pack them for shipment, it will stay that way.
The Quadra 950 was a barn full of NuBus slots, having 5 NuBus slots, the most of any Mac, with space for lots of drives and RAM, and power supply that takes up more cubic space than a Mac LC. It is supersized, big, and heavy.
I've used this computer for NuBus company work here various times, including in 2015, though I don't think I ever put a battery in it. Pulling it out for inspection and sale yesterday, I found that the PRAM battery was only 0.39v. Nonetheless, this Quadra 950 started up instantly the first time (well, after the 30 second delay the firmware does with scanning the SCSI buses) and worked perfectly. Then I installed a new PRAM battery yesterday.
You can see that it does have some light scuffs on the sides and edges, but the photos are very, very clear and 3, 072 x 2, 304 high resolution, so you can see everything clearly. I don't know what was going on with my camera, the very closeup macro shots of the Mac screen (OS, RAM, programs installed, etc.) were blurry and unfocused no matter what I tried, but over two feet it was crystal-clear, as you can see in all the other photos here in this listing.
Normally, I don't test the floppy drives and won't, but in this case I had some floppy disks to check, and in the process I found that, as of this morning, this floppy drive works well and is VERY quiet.
No hard drive is included.
This does have a 2-device SCSI cable, a 2-device power cable, and the Quadra 950 hard drive frame.
This Quadra 950 works perfectly, it boots (when I connect a hard drive, not included), it has 64mb RAM loaded, they are a type of RAM I have rarely seen before, very thick and tall RAM cards that look like little brick walls (see pics).
It has built-in video which I have set to do 1, 024 x 768. This is the resolution needed for my professional clients so I set all my Macs to that if they are able to do it. This one is able to do it.
The PRAM battery is new, installed by me yesterday, reading out 3.67v.
The logic board is like new. Just look at the photos.
This computer has five NuBus slots, all of which are empty because it has and is using built-in video at 1, 024 x 768.
This Mac is really fast compared to some others I've tried recently.
This Quadra 950 is missing the side lid, which I stupidly threw away when I was parting out some dead Quadra 950s about seven years ago, thinking it had a bad logic board with a bad ADB port (it didn't, I was using the wrong keyboard, one that doesn't work on LOTS of early 90s Macs, with whole rows of keys out). I'd taken some of them apart, some time later I went through throwing away things I "knew" I wouldn't need anymore. Later on I figured out that this was working perfectly, but the lid was long gone. Two or three times I checked eBay for a Quadra 950 case local or cheap shipping, but couldn't find one, it's not the sort of thing that comes up. I've probably had 9 or 10 Quadra 950s, and my observation is that the logic boards are very reliable. Maybe one or two of those had bad logic boards, versus maybe ten or more bad IIfx logic boards out of 25-30 of them (and that was mostly when those were only about 10-12 years old).

I have another Quadra 950 listed as well, please see my other auctions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The security key that is always missing from Quadra 950s? No missing key here, this sale includes the key with the Apple logo on it. PLEASE remember that the right/most clockwise position for this key is locked, as the little icon shows, and your keyboard and mouse will be disabled, so don't use that position, just leave the key in the straight up position and start it from the button on the keyboard as intended.
This sale includes only the desktop computer (missing the side lid, missing the hard drive) and security key, and no other peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse...) are included. I used one of my own Apple monitors (15AV, my favorite) and one of my own Extended Keyboard II (that will be posted for sale on eBay within a few days).
Shipping
This will be very, very safely packed for shipment. I will pack it into a cardboard carton with solid foam, and, if possible, double-box it into a second outer carton.
Shipping to USA is flat rate $93.00, but if you are in California, please send me a message BEFORE you buy and I will reduce the shipping to $55.75 for you.
Generally speaking, shipping to the rest of the world on this item is with the eBay Global Shipping program, however, I can ship both of these Quadra 950s together to any major city in the world with an economy ocean export shipment for $325, and NO ONE else on eBay has that capability. If you want me to set that in the listing, please write and confirm your city and I'll tell you if I can do it. You'll need to pick it up at a terminal and clear customs yourself (the Synhouse customs support package makes this easy), this is not shipping to your door.
Synhouse has the most extreme shipping experience in the electronic music business and as much as anyone on eBay, period. With 29 years in the international mail order business, Synhouse has what it takes to get it done.
Free local pickup in the Los Feliz district of L.A. is okay if you can work around my busy schedule, as I am very much looking forward to not packing and shipping this. It will take me half a day of company time I won'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 that might be of interest.
Synhouse accepts PayPal. Additionally, Synhouse has accepted payments directly by Visa, MasterCard, and American Express for 19 years now.
