Well, after all that work, the Apple II I got turned out to be broken. After being hooked up to a monitor (which had been tested), being flipped on, all it does is produce a green wash and horizontal/vertical lines onscreen. Is there anyone here interested in trying to repair it? I am more than happy to pay someone for their services.

I could be interested, but the first thing that you ought to do is hook up a volt meter and see if the power supply appears to be generating the appropriate voltages.

Do you hear any beeps or other signs of life? If it beeps (and tries to read disks if you have a disk ][ hooked up) and you just don't have video (on a known working monitor), it might be a mal-adjusted video trim-pot, I know on my ][+ needed some tweaking before I got a usable video signal out of it.
I am with dholezer too though, check supply voltages, power supplies are over 30 years old, their failure is somewhat common these days.
