You must embrace the rifa caps and de smell the psu. What model apple did you get ?
Tom
I think it's an enhanced //e with the black lettering on the key caps but will know more when it arrives. I'll share the restoration photos.
Does it have the word 'enhanced' on the power light? Has it got a memory card in the aux slot?

I hope that it's not in so bad a condition that
@PhilC breaks down and cries. :-)

@stephen_usher working or not I'm looking forward to owning my first ever Apple IIe.
Besides, where's the fun if it arrived and it was fully working?

Indeed! :)
Each new dead machine is a puzzle to be solved. Once it's working it's not as fun.

Can't wait for the Floppyemu to arrive, but it is moving :)

Fingers crossed just another week and it'll be here, then I can try my memory card properly and also Petscii Robots that I also got last week for both my A8s and Apple IIe. $20 for both as digital download, so very cheap IMHO and actually quite addictive from what I've played so far on my 800XL.
