Posted by: matacao on 2015-04-03 11:50:31 Thanks

Posted by: matacao on 2015-04-17 00:14:44 New conquest: Apple IIe Platinum

Posted by: CC_333 on 2015-04-17 07:08:49 Wow! That looks to be in very good condition, with almost no yellowing. Nice find! c

Posted by: matacao on 2015-04-17 07:15:05 Thanks ! Yes it is in very good condition and functional but I think that key 5 and Control are not original.

Posted by: olePigeon on 2015-04-17 08:13:20 They might not be original to the computer, but they look to be the correct keys.  What you could do is take all the keys off with a $5 Keycap remover, then put them in a zip lock baggy filled with H2O2 (Hydrogen peroxide.)  Leave out in the sun for 3 or 4 hours, then all your keys will look like new.

Posted by: matacao on 2015-08-17 01:20:45 My latest conquest:  Working Apple ///  Apple II monitor stand:

Posted by: olePigeon on 2015-08-17 10:48:21 Just FYI, the Apple II monitor stand is a bit too narrow for an AppleColor Composite Monitor (aka ColorMonitor //e), the front and/or back feats will be up on the ridge.  It was designed to work with the Monitor /// or //.  It'll still pretty much work as intended, though, and keep the bulk of the monitor weight off the top of the computer.

Posted by: matacao on 2015-08-23 06:31:46 Thanks ! I don't have a ColorMonitor //e, I have bought this for my extra Monitor ///.

Posted by: matacao on 2015-09-20 08:10:16 Latest find: Xerox Splash G620 (Power Mac G4) (click on images to enlarge) It works great but I don't have the Splash Key to turn on the Splash Server.
