KeyTronic KB-200 external keyboard for Apple II/II+

Submitted by BubbaShakers on February 13, 2017 - 2:07pm

Does anyone have one of these? Googling turns up only a magazine ad on deskauthority. I got this along with a "hand me down" II+ system someone gave me in the early 90's.

Is it better to part out an apple II and sell the AE cards separatly or sell the computer intact?

Submitted by Grumpy_Mike on February 10, 2017 - 8:14pm

Have a pretty well loaded IIe and a IIc. I'm not knowledgeable about the hobby. I was going to recycle it but saw some sales on ebay. Looking for advice.

Got a problem with a key

P key on my IIe now randomly spits out 3 at a time, and if I hold it there's no longer the repeat delay. What to do?

Terrible Vintage packing

Submitted by snuci on February 3, 2017 - 6:21pm

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I went home today and what did I see sitting on my doorstep? Something packaged in an original, almost pristine Apple IIe box... with duct tape and stickers on it! I immediately made a sour face like I had just sucked on a lemon thinking of how I was going to get that tape off.

Apple iie component C12

Submitted by falen5 on February 1, 2017 - 10:17pm

Hello again people. Trying to get my 4th and last IIe back to life. It is a 1982 PAL board - 820-0073-B

Can someone kindly tell me what the component C12 (just above the power connector) is.

its markings are 10 uM, 20 volt, +tar

I think it is a tantulum capacitor but the uM has me confused.

It has a positive side

Is this a capacitor ?

This IIe has a 5volt to ground short, C12 and C15 are direct shorts

If they are caps what do I replace them with. I only know uF,pF,nF..

uM is a new one to me!!

What are your methods of cleaning your Apple II (Inside + Outside)

Submitted by Apple2 on January 30, 2017 - 10:28am

Hey everyone,

Firstly, thanks so much for being so kind to me on this forum, I have posted some pretty beginner questions and you guys haven't made me feel stupid or flamed me at all, so I am really grateful!

So to my question... I'm unsure as to what the plastic compound is for the Apple II machine shell so do not know what would be safe to use to clean it! What cleaning solution (if any) do you use and what's your method of cleaning (i.e. what kind of cloth/sponge do you use and how do you apply it?)

Inside, what do you use for circuit board cleaning - I've heard Isopropyl is good for cleaning circuit boards generally, but is it too harsh for vintage boards such as the Apple II - Also, what method do you use to clean (i.e. What types of cleaning instruments do you use in addition to the chemicals, if any)

Thanks again!

-AC
