These Kemets look identical to the AVXs, and only cost $.47 each. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kemet/T491D476K016AT/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtZ1n0r9vR22SjDo%2fRaJSx%252b4jYqLAhRWTo%3d They have a higher ESR than the AVXs, but both have lower ESRs than the Cornell-Dubilier electrolytics. Might be...

Recapping the Disk IIs cost no more than 25 cents, as I had all the caps on hand. I would like to get to the PSU eventually. I tried audio bootstrap with ADTPro... it worked 3/4ths of the way, but refused to send the actual ADTpro disk image to the II. Good to know. Also PM sent.

I'm so new to the Apple II. I was under the impression that you needed a disk to start programming in BASIC. Then I realized I was very wrong. Off to learn how this contraption works.

Update on the II+: It turns out the power supply actually does work, which is good. One of the Disk IIs decided to spit out magic smoke, but after recapping it, it is ready to roll again. Right now, it's all but useless without a Super Serial Card, as it came with no software.

Well, I'm back to the collecting game. This time, it's a roadside pick. Scored an absolutely mint II+ with Microsoft Softcard, Epson APL card, Microsoft RAM expander, 2x Disk II, and an obviously homebrew joystick. It's also got some form of aftermarket RF mod (a Sup'R'Mod II) Unfortunately...

If you ever, EVER want to get rid of a PCI Power Mac G4 card, I'd be first in line :3 That's quite possibly one of the best hauls I've ever seen! Nice going.

While I had it, I used it as a Word machine. It had After Dark installed, so I had Flying Toasters running in the background. Before I shipped it to you, I wiped the drive and installed 7.1.1. I can tell you that the performance increase was quite noticeable with a fresh OS. You could always...

That sounds fine.

8-o Impressive. I am interested in that IIgs. PM to discuss further?

Didn't mean to delete my post, but I'd love an IIgs. -Ross

If I remember correctly, the TV was based off an LC520. You could likely swap parts from an LC520, if you have one. Nice find.

I have one of these as well. Strange machine. It doesn't work at the moment, because I need a ROM SIMM, and an HDI45-DB15 adapter.

Bunsen: the Opcode is a patchbay/interface. Ridiculously powerful box. 15x15 midi I/O, program changes, I think it's got SMPTE sync. It's a MIDI Swiss Army Knife. The LX is linkable. I think the maximum is 60x60.

I recently scored a good amount of PowerPC stuff, including a 7500/100. Originally DOA, I found the cause of the problem to be a lack of ram and hard disk. To my surprise, it had a Newer Technologies G3 card in it. I pulled a hard disk and ram out of a dead 7200, and booted it up. It's quite...
