Apple II

... and I sent the seller specific packing instructions, citing previous extreme damage I've had during shipment of improperly packed similar equipment.

Well, they did write "fragile" and "this side up" on the box (even though the monitor was packed face-down), but that was it.  There was a handful of packing peanuts in the bottom of the box, and a loose half-sheet of bubble wrap on top.  The equipment was just loose in the box, with no padding or support whatsoever.

Having spent some time searching for an Apple ][ related forum I finally found this site, which I'm glad I did!

I'm trying to revive an old Apple ][+ (actually an Asian clone) and after cleaning it up (removing corrosion), re-soldering some cold joints and changing a 74LS74 I now have the familiar "Apple ][", the cursor and beep. However, the keyboard doesn't work -or rather: CTRL-RESET is the only thing that works! There's no reaction from the other keys.

Now that it boots (yay!, thanks for the help from this forum), the display has a slow "wave" left-to-right that moves up from the bottom to top.   It is not the monitor.  I switched out the little //c monitor for a Apple Color Composite monitor.   Same symptom.
