So a couple of years ago I picked up a non-working Apple IIe, it lights up but produces no beep on reset.
Anyway I just stored it for a winter project and this is the winter it gets fixed, so I am completely new to the IIe so I have a massive learning curve, so I thought it best to document it here so I can remember what I have done and also grab some advice.
Last night I did some reading about fault finding and decided just to start with basics. Tonight I measured the PSU outputs and although they are not too bad they seem to be out of spec especially the negative rails.
5v = 5.18v
-5v = -4.85
12v = 12.43
-12v = -11.13
Unfortunately my PSU is riveted so I need to drill them out before going on.
You all think it might be as simple as dodgy capacitors ?
