SOLD: Apple IIc Starter Kit with some issues

Osgeld · January 7, 2018

I just like last week bought this Apple IIc from another user, as time marches on, and looking at the bills after the holidays, maybe buying an apple IIc was not the best choice

When I bought it, it was advertised as broken, and it was. The power supply put no voltage out, the keyboard was locked up and there was a minor ground fault (broken solder) on the video out

I tore apart the keyboard and hosed it down with contact cleaner, actuated every key several times and hosed it down again (like seriously almost an entire can of contact cleaner)

The 40/80 column and the qwerty vs dorvack keyswitchs were stuck down, now they move freely but do not latch, thus rendering them useless, the 40/80 switch I cant ever remember using in the past and I have never used the dorvack layout so no huge loss but it is an issue with the machine

The power supply I cut open as they are welded together, and replaced the input fuse, its working fine but now its cut open and has a gap tween the two halves. I could put a pile of epoxy to glue it back together, but for now I just have a couple zip ties, super tight around the casing.

While I had the machine apart I dusted off the motherboard, cleaned the volume knob and upgraded the rom to version 0 (was 255) which fixes a bug with the serial port and adds smart port to the external floppy drive port, enabling more disk options (along with a couple disk emulators)

Machine comes with power supply, video cable, Null Modem cable for ADT pro disk transfers, 1 blank formatted on both sides disk, and 1 disk that has the latest ADT pro client software on side A, and Copy II + on side B (and the original rom)

Asking 75$ shipped USA and Paypal only please

should be noted that the machine passes all its self test's on the upgraded rom's and all of the diagnostic test's on the apple IIc diag disk
