| 512k - new addition to my collection! | |
| Posted by: JC8080 on 2020-04-12 10:54:29 I picked up this 512k yesterday, came with a keyboard, mouse, Apple external drive, original manuals, and Apple soft carrying case. No yellowing, no burn-in, couldn't be happier with the purchase. I had one years ago I had to let go, I always regretted it but finally had a chance to get another one. I've now got a 512k, Plus, SE, and SE/30 - if I can find a 128k at a reasonable price (funny joke, I know), my collection will be complete! The escape key switch is broken, the top of the plastic post has broken off, and I don't have the key. Does anyone know where to find a replacement switch/key? Thanks, Jeff  | |

| Posted by: LaPorta on 2020-04-12 18:12:17 Excellent find! I’m not sure if key caps are easy to come by, especially one that will match tone and color of your existing keys. Finding an other keyboard may be easier. Then again I may be wrong. | |
| Posted by: JC8080 on 2020-04-13 16:22:09 Thanks! A guy reached out to me and it looks like he has a switch and key cap that will work, as well as a 6.0.8 boot disk. Turns out it was upgraded to a 512ke at some point, so it has the 800k drive. Edit: wow I just read your signature, that's an awesome collection. | |
