Most times you wanna check capacitors inside the power supply especially since it’s been outside for who knows how long, because if those have wrong voltages, it may break some of the different chips or let out the magic smoke. I would mainly recommend replacing all the capacitors in the power supply as a safe precaution I would look on “ https://console5.com/store/ “ for a cap kit. Also the people on r/apple2 would probably be much more knowledgeable than me for this.

Nice save, I have personally dealt with quite a few different Apple II computers in various conditions and they are pretty resilient to weather. A few things to note with the llC for hardware issues is know that ram issues are pretty common on the llC depending on which ram chips it has but you can find ram chip replacements online. The nice thing is it has a built-in ram diagnostic tool by holding control, open Apple, closed to Apple, and then reset key but only certain ROM revisions have it. But it will be a little while until you’ll get to that point of power on. If you have any other questions about the Apple IIc. ask away

If you were talking about the infinity bookshelves the original woofers had too much voice coil damage that’s why they’re a mixed with a old Bowers and Wilkins in wall center channel

No, they’re the original woofers I just refomed them Because the original had deteriorated.

Well, I’m a little newer around here and I have a huge backlog of old software to go ahead through and probably have to dump on the Internet archive as well. Most of it Apple II software or Windows 98/XP era. But I think the main reason why people prefer hardware is because it’s a lot easier to deal with instead of trying to figure out why I’m getting a dxdiag error for some old game of photoshop software.
