I'm not sure the condition of the system itself, but I know
the magic smoke has been let out of something.? I
salvaged it a few years ago to be a parts donor.
I wouldn't suggest scrapping an entire machine just because Dave and I need a few
keytops. The Apple /// is well known for it's ability to lose it's magic smoke.
It's a fault of the power supply and is easily repaired. Mine had the same problem. I
had the power supply working in very little time.
Also, the ///+ uses a different keyboard...
But, if the thing has real bad cosmetic damage, or something else horribly wrong with it,
I'd be interested in the disk drive.
