I can't speak for every old Mac, but mine is one of those from the
first 90 days, nearing his fourth birthday.  Though he started out as
a 128K, he now has 128K ROM and 2 Meg RAM.  I'm still using the original
battery.  The only problem has been the power supply, which has been
replaced once.  Therefore, the total repair costs over just under four
years have been about $150.  Not too bad ...

MultiFinder runs great with the 2 Meg, by the way.
