I am trying to learn about the early Apple II's. I know a lof of them had replacement motherboard, power supplies and other items.
How do you tell original equipment from replacement?
Here is an example http://www.ebay.com/itm/221216098239?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649. What am I looking for for in this machine that made have been replaced.
I know some things about the original 5150 what to look for in an origianl machine, black power supplies, esp one with non-recessed bolts on top, 16-64 k boards, the wider spacer on the component cards. The dates for the BIOS to see if they have been replaced. What would be some of the same things to look for in an Apple II.
Thanks,
Jimmy
