Question

Best place to service a newly bought Apple Imac G3?

Bought a grape Apple Imac G3, 333 I believe - boots up with good looking screen, envelope with flashing question mark. Wanted to have this cleaned inside, ram maxed out, caps checked, battery replaced, any needed servicing. Want to play my fav old games on this, thought I could hook this up to my old Airport Extreme I use with my daily computer (Apple M1 Imac) - via ethernet cable - also looking for original install discs for 0/S -

iMac 24″, macOS 14.4

You could perhaps check whether additional information can be found via one of the hardware oriented vintage Mac sites (such as 68kmla.org).
