Now I'm not an expert on these, indeed I know nothing at all about apples,
but these look pretty weird to me - are they actually what they say they
are, and really common? eBay item 5219329581 (expensive as usual, so no
bids) for three linotype boxes, one of which has a disc drive with an apple
logo on it. (Listing has some larger pics linked from it).

If they are Apple ]['s then they are definitely custom jobs or clones. It
could also be that someone simply raided Disk ][ drives for spare parts to
keep these systems running. But, being that Apple used custom analog
boards, the former is more likely.
In that case, I'd really like to see the insides of these.

It looks like a rack mounted Apple ][ assembled by Linotype-Paul (now
called Linotype-Hell). They made typesetting equipment.
This certiantly looks like the front end of an electronic typesetter.

The seller's got some lovely feedback; he's either an idle crook or his
buyers are idiots, particularly the ones that say 'no response from
emails' when the auction clearly says to ring, or the ones that say 'still
not received item' when his terms are 'pick up only'
