Pulled my 128k Mac out, turned it on, and saw this message

[physics dude]

I had my 128k original 1984 Mac in storage for quite a few years. I pulled it out to see if it still worked because I have considered selling it. Sadly, I saw the "sad face" when I turned it on. There is a numerical sequence numbers: 042182 below the sad face. Drats...

I have disks, books (Macintosh, Macpaint, Macwrite, Dollars and Sense), Imagewriter, power cords, programmers switch. But thought I had a working mac!

Anyone know what a possible problem could be? Power supply?

Nope, not the power supply - it's feeding the machine just fine. Sounds like it's memory. See:
