Apple II Plus and drive so cheep its almost free!

[tta583]

Anyone out there mess with old Apple HW? I ended up with a II Plus and a matching 5 1/4 floppy drive out of a lot with some Commodore hardware that I wanted. I have no idea if the thing works. Visually the only problem is the key to the right of 0 (zero) is missing. The only cable that came with it was the ribbon cable attaching the drive to the unit. I did get a matching monitor bridge that will go with the II plus and the drive. It may have some kind of memory expansion in it as there is a label on the space bar that says 48K (that is from memory, its not in front of me right now).

 

I have no use for it and know of no one local that collects. I figure someone out there could use is so I would prefer to offer it as opposed to letting it sit on my shelf or just giving it to the Salvation Army.

 

Cost?? How is $10 plus actual shipping to your address? $10 for the trouble boxing it, taking it for a postage check, then taking it back to ship. If you are local then just come get it for free!!! (A firm hand shake and a "thanks pal" would also be cool.) If shipping then Postal or Western Union Money Order only. No PayPal, credit cards, checks, puppies, magic tokens, etc..... I do mess with arcades so I would consider arcade parts even if I had to kick in some $$$

How much do you think it would cost to ship? More than $20?

Humm, hard to say. It's kind'a heavy. I have had 19" arcade monitors shipped in the 30ish range and they are WAY heavier but I dare not guess. Where to? If you want just PM me with a zip. I have it in the trunk of my car. I can pack it up at work tomorrow (need to do it regardless) and try and figure it out.

I dont think hardware can go for media mail, so shipping would probably be like 40 to 50 bucks if its a computer and monitor and drive.

 

Kentucky? People actually live there?

Probably not as it is not media.

No monitor. I did not mention a monitor above but I can see that as a point of confusion.

Yes, people live there. Lots of people. We're lousy with people...they are all over the place, everywhere you look. After traveling many places in the US and beyond I could not imagine why anyone would live any where else...other than in the Caribbean.

 

 

The items have been spoken for. I worked it out with 2 folks who wanted specific parts and, thus, split up the 3 pieces. Some if it is going out West, some is going up north.
