Item specifics

Type: Home Computer Model:

Apple II Plus
Brand:

Apple

 Country of Manufacture: United States
I picked this unit up as an add on to a Craig's List deal.   I am selling this unit intact, with same boards, keyboard and power supply as I received with it.  Here is what is included:
  • Tested and working Apple IIplus Model A2S1048, serial number 189282.  Based on date codes of components, this unit was made in the spring of 1981.  Based on serial number of the power supply, the power supply may be a later replacement.  The keyboard dates match that of the motherboard.
  • Tested and working Apple II language card, with 16K DRAM and F8 autostart ROM.  Also made in spring of 1981, so I think it probably was sold with the computer
  • Tested and working Apple II disk II controller card.  Chips also have a date code of spring of 1981, so I think it was probably sold with the computer
  • Untested Apple II parallel interface card - I don't have a means to test this.  It was made about a year after the main system.
  • As far as I can tell all chassis hardware is present and original

It looked like it was storage for a long time, as it was pretty dirty when I got it. It needed some TLC and a few parts, but now works and looks great.  Here is what I did to it.
  • All major subassemblies disassembled
  • All major subassemblies carefully cleaned
  • Keyboard had broken key switches replaced
  • Keyboard had missing key caps replaced
  • The keyboard ribbon cable was on backwards, which caused me to plug it into the motherboards backwards - I had to replace a 7404 on the encoder board and put the ribbon cable on correctly
  • Several Key switches were bit intermittent, cleaning fixed those and they now work reliably
  • All features tested for functionality and reliability (with exception of parallel interface card)
  • 1 of the Motherboard ROMs was bad and replaced with a similar date code ROM
  • Loose Headlock Connectors reattached
  • Reassembled and retested (with exception of parallel interface card)
The case seems free of any yellowing.   It looks nice, but has a few minor chips in the paint.  I have access to the paint to repair these chips, but prefer to see vintage computers stay as much as possible in their original used condition.

Note that this Apple II plus comes with it's apparently original RFI version motherboard.  I have found that these RFI motherboards are more reliable than earlier version motherboards, so this would make a very good II plus for a collector or as a user system.

NOT INCLUDED: disk II drives or paddles or anything else not listed above

I ship USPS only to continental US on following Saturday  or Monday after auction closes.
