The Green Apple IIe

Apple II | Artistic Hack

I present to you my Green Apple IIe.

No it's not some ultra rare original Prototype model or anything. It's just an old '82 Rev B Apple IIe I had kicking around and wanted to spruce up a little bit.

Underhood, we find the standard issue assortment of cards:

- 64k/80 Col. card,
- 5.25" Disk controller card,
- Super Serial II card,
- Serial Mouse interface card

Really easy to do if you're in the mood.

Recipe instructions:

- Disassemble the Apple II, the Disk Drive, and the Mouse,
- Thoroughly clean the parts with dish soap and water,
- Rinse well and either towel dry or air dry,
- Shoot the appropriate parts with Plastic primer
- Let it dry!
- Spray your choice of color on the primer.
- Let it dry!
- Reassembly is reverse of disassembly!
- Voila

Enjoy!

Later,
Craig

Truly majestic. Except there

Truly majestic. Except there are chew marks on the bottom of the third picture. I'll just call those "scars of war".

Wow.

Looks great, the shade is something tasteful that I'd actually use instead of keeping around to blow out the ocular nerves of my friends. Nice choice.

wow, this is a really nice ha

wow, this is a really nice hack. I think you meant to say '83, because the original IIe was sold from 83-85, and the enhanced from 85-87, and the platinum from 87-93.

I have been seriously getting in to the Apple II, since my old biology teacher had a bunch, maybe I should go back and see if I can get a IIe. I really want a platinum with the latest hardware revisions, and that numeric keypad. I have a disk drive, and mouse that will work with it, as well as that printer card I could use.

expect a long topic in the Apple II forum.

oh yeah, it was sold in 1982.

oh yeah, it was sold in 1982. A lot of sites cite 1983 as the beginning of production for the IIe. I also pulled out my "Apple Presents The Apple //e" disk, and it does say copyright 1982 on it.

my mistake.
