Apple IIe & Green Monitor, Nic, Serial card

@falen123: Thanks.. The new RIFAs last a much longer time, dont they? Do they?

Yeah... I experienced that smoke with the first one of these I had.

I had 4... one was stolen by some guys looking for "scrap metal".. The second started smoking, but I fixed it up with my cousin and some beers.

This non working one is the third, and the fourth is working, but I'm not selling yet! I might hang onto it!!

Actually, I'm captivated by the pizza boxes.. I think that might be my next one to buy... maybe a souped up LCIII or 475... or maybe a 6100.

I worked in tech support as a youngfella, and we had a whole room full of un-repairable 7200s, due to some identity chip in them which would brick the whole system.

@keanebg1: hm.. yeah... I mean, I've done it before but I'm not an expert, but when I did it to another Apple II, none of the other components seemed to be damaged in any way.
I still have a working one also, it beeps and starts up fine, but again - it still needs recapping. And a working monitor that is working with noisy screen pots... and without any cards.
So if I sell the working ones, they will still need Rifa updates.

However, the computer advertised here doesn't start up, the monitor doesn't either, and the computer has a swirly ultrasonic ring sound from the psu.. I love these machines but I've had to keep them in storage so I'm only selling for.. sort of.. family reasons.

When I have the money, I'm gonna buy back a complete working one with all the cards and networking and so on.

@keanebg1 these machines usually just get recapped and are fine after, but I dont have the time to fix them, but engineers and collectors have the skill. So they aren't broken beyond repair ie for parts, they just need capacitor change
