| Apple IIc Monitor Power Cord | |
| Posted by: dcr on 2019-08-14 10:07:00 Managed to (finally!) get an Apple IIc Monitor. Didn't come with a power cord though. While it's unlikely that I will be able to get an original power cord, but I'd like to at least use one in the right color. So, was the original black or gray? I'm presuming the latter since the IIc itself used a gray cord but I'd like to make sure. Ditto for the RCA cable. I'm guessing that was probably gray too? Thanks! | |
| Posted by: LaPorta on 2019-08-14 12:27:46 The cable was a gray RCA, I can confirm that for sure with the one that I have. My monitor (to my recollection) came with a black cable, but that could have been substituted in at any time by the school I got it from (it's a IIc+). I will check my Apple Design book for photos and see if it is there. | |

| Posted by: dcr on 2019-08-14 12:49:08 Thanks! Interesting that the Apple IIc box seems to show a black power cable for the IIc itself. http://www.vectronicscollections.org/apple/appleiicrom0.php Unless that's supposed to be a black RCA cable. Hard to tell. Either the computer has no power or it's not connected to the display in the box photo. The cables in the actual setup (don't know whether original or not) are all gray though. | |
