Beautiful Genuine REAL Apple II Computer NON-upgraded w/ Original Integer BASIC ROM set, Early Keyboard- Collector Quality! RARE!



RARE Original Apple ][ Computer 1978!



The follow-up to the original Apple 1 board computer by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, here is an all original beautiful 1978/79 genuine Apple II computer, NON-upgraded, original silver Apple power supply, early Apple II raised power light keyboard, original motherboard with the original Integer BASIC ROM set!  This is from before the Apple II Plus was ever offered!   This is a REAL Apple II, not a II+ inside a II case like others offered.  This is the only TRUE Apple II on ebay, others have upgraded Applesoft ROMs which takes away the originality of having a real original II like this one, and makes this much more rare and valuable since these are hard to find with the early original chips and components.  The real value in one of these II computers is having the original parts and Integer BASIC ROM chip set as it came from Apple.  Upgrades may have been desireable back then, but now having an all original, non-modified, genuine II system like this is highly collectible and the most valuable compared to upgraded units that are just Apple II+ components in a II case.  This is the REAL deal!   There are very few of these in existence that are still all original factory  configuration and excellent cosmetic condition like this! 

This was a one-owner system, incredibly clean and nice  inside and out, looks nearly new, non-modified and in collector condition!  Original light beige color, no discoloration or yellowing, no markings, no engravings, no stickers or outlines, no missing parts, just some minor typical paint wear to front edges of case from typing, computer always stored properly indoors so no damage.  Fully tested for complete functionality!  This computer still looks nearly new, hard to believe eve it is over 32 years old!  This rare gem could be the crown jewel of any vintage Apple computer collection!  Don't miss your chance to get an all original genuine Apple II.  Own an early piece of Apple history!

System also has the dark green internal expansion slots with gold contacts, and original silver Apple power supply and 1978 stamped motherboard.
The Serial # is: A2S1-32844 indicating original Apple II.  The hand-written number on the motherboard is 7930, indicating that the board was assembled in the 30th week of 1979.   Orginal Integer BASIC ROM chips still installed!  Most of these original Apple II systems you will see were upgraded to Applesoft BASIC ROMs to mimic the Apple II Plus, so a still all original non-modified original Apple II like this is much more valuable and collectible, maintaining the original configuration exactly as it came from Apple when new in the late 1970's!

Has REVISION 1 motherboard (indicated by single video pin on right rear of motherboard).  Motherboard  design is date stamped 1978 under the Apple Computer logo, board has the early 16k memory jumpers, Old System Monitor ROM, and Original Apple II Integer BASIC ROM chips (Chip Part #'s: 341-0001, 341-0002, 341-0003, 341-0004) just as it came from Apple, non-upgraded never modified!  48K of RAM installed.


All chips on board show dates of 1978 or 1979 production. Has the original highly desireable original style early Apple II keyboard with raised key-shaped power light!  Very hard to find an original II now with the original early keyboard as many were replaced with later keyboard from II+ computers.  ALL keys tested working!This system has all the original features and components, never changed or modified! 

This system has been obviously very well cared for and shows little signs of use.  Tested and comes on like it should with the familiar 'beep' and power light on.  The computer boots right up to the Old Apple Monitor ROM with the asterisk(*) prompt of the Apple System Monitor at the bottom of a random text screen, exactly as it is supposed to.  From there you easily access Integer BASIC by Holding "Ctrl and B" and then pressing "Return" and up comes Integer BASIC with its ">" prompt.  (Just for comparison, later Apple II Plus systems came with an Autostart ROM which automatically  displayed "Appe ][" at the top of the screen and the Applesoft BASIC "]" prompt.)  Adding an Apple Language Card or Applesoft ROM card to this system would provide Autostart if desired.  See my other listings for a tested original Applesoft ROM card that will work with this computer.

All photos are of the actual system you are buying.  Don't miss your chance to own this EXTREMELY RARE Genuine 1978/79 all original Apple II computer!  These are very hard to find in this clean cosmetic ondition, especially with the original ROM chips featuring original Apple Integer BASIC, original silver power supply, 1978 motherboard, and raised power light early keyboard!  This will definitely be the highlight of your vintage Apple collection!
