Howdy everyone,
I've recently become the caretaker of two Apple /// systems. One is already in good working order other than a wonky 'O' key which I need to get sorted, and the other is in rougher shape (couple broken-off keys, dead PSU, etc.).
I spent some time playing with the working one last night and it was great, but I definitely noticed it warming up after an hour or so. I'd like to install a cooling fan to circumvent the notorious overheating issues that plagued these machines (both of mine are early revisions, which are more susceptible to overheating), but I can't quite figure out where to start - searching online for any variation "Apple III" and "cooling fan" just leads to 10,000,000 articles about why the lack of a fan doomed this platform, and nothing about how to actually install one.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
