Yes, I know. This is an Atari forum but I think there are many old computer enthusiests here that could offer their two cents.
I have the opportunity to purchase two Apple IIe's tonight (and an 800). Why two? Well, at this time the seller has two available. I really only need one for my collection so it's possible I might be able to pick the best one out of the two. The question is, other than cosmetics issues, functioning keyboard, cards, etc, what else should I try to look out for? I can't tell if this is an enhanced IIe from the photo so I'm assuming it's either a revision A or B. I haven't been able to find exact info on how to determine this since some people say look for serial numbers > 10K but then another person said they had one that was in the 11K range. I do want to use these systems but I also would like to choose it based on rarity, for historical preservation, of course. So, I'd probably want the Rev B to use and an A for rarity, but is the rarity really all that important?
The person also said they have more Apple stuff to sell but they haven't provided me with a list yet. I'm hoping they have a monitor(Color or monochrome) since I'm assuming the Apple won't run off a TV, and besides, who wants to run historic computer off a TV.
Any help would be most appreciated.
