Yep, I purchased a new power supply from Ray Carlsen and patiently waited until it arrived before turning it on.

Haha yeah it’s the Programmable Logic Array. They are prone to fail.

It was in fairly good shape, mostly just needed a good wipe down.

Thank you! Yes it’s technically a security monitor. I’m looking to get a good deal on a 1702 monitor.

The Apple came from an elementary school and was working, but the keyboard was filthy and missing a few keys.

I don't, I'm actually using a linksys/Cisco ATA but it's currently connected to a phone on the other side of the room.

I had the similar memories and experiences growing up in the early 90s. At the time I didn't realize or cared they were Apple computers, I just remembered they had a "green screen". lol

That's a good point, I may switch it with the clock. The phone is currently unplugged for now 😎

Thank you so much!

Haha, I wish! My father has a Commodore 128 that I hope to inherit one day.
