The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

An acquaintance of mine, I'll call him Jason, brought me his brothers old Apple //e computer. There's no problem with the brother. He passed on several years ago. Well anyway the computer didn't work. I gave him $20 for it. That was all he wanted anyway was just cigarette money. So anyways, twenty minutes after he left I got it working. A common problem with these old Apples is the power supply was non-vented and there was no case fan thus the power supply would overheat and burn out. This one is a later model than the one I was playing with at my fathers place. It's a 'Platinum' //e. I replaced the power supply and also put in a firmware chip that had gone missing. I turned it on and it powered on. So I hooked it up to my stuff, turned it on and away it went. I've fully tested it and it's in great condition if you look past the rough looking case. It has no top cover so I put the top cover from my other //e on it hence the slight color difference. Looks like for a tiny investment, some work and a talent for fixing old computers I now have myself a fully operational platinum Apple //e. I can hardly wait to play a game of 'Starfleet1' on it.
