Hey all,
I have (at home) an old Apple II of some sort that I picked up for free
from my high school a few years back. The thing that
attracted me to it
was the partially wooden case that it was in, which I thought was
pretty
snazzy. I took some pictures a while ago, and finally got around to
putting them up on a website:
http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~rnlion/comp/apple.html
I'd like to know a bit more about this system, so if any of you Apple
enthusiasts could take a look and let me know if you've ever seen anything
like it, that would be great.
Thanks,
Rob Lion

Pretty box, but for us to make any comment you need to show the INSIDES,
not the outside.

Apple did sell Apple II's as just boards, the price difference being
$500, so it's certainly possible somebody made their own cases or even
did a small production run.
Like Mike said, pictures of the inside would be really helpful. It might
be a clone.

If you look closely at these pictures you'll notice that there is indeed a
stock Apple ][+ (maybe even a ][) inside the wooden enclosure.

I once read in an old children's magazine about some teenage girls who built
an Apple II in technology class, sporting a pink case and an ABCDEF keyboard
instead of a QWERTY one, so as to be more friendly towards children. =)

kontakterna ser likadana ut, ligger sp?nningarna fel.

Can't say I have ever seen it before. But it is real cool, IMO. Kinda reminds
me of a Sol-20.
