Apple //e minor surgery
While watching the NFL championships, I finally got around to fixing a non-working rescue ][e. After a power supply connector adjustment, chip reseating, keyswitch replacement, and a good cleaning, she's good as new. Not a big deal, and not my first restore, but I mention it because it occurred to me that, a few years ago, I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this. So, a huge thank you to everyone connected to VCF who have been so helpful, encouraging and generous with thier time and knowledge over the years. You know who you are, and you'll all be modest and say it's nothing, but it means a lot to me.
Congrats! It’s a great feeling to be able to do that by getting help from fellow enthusiasts. I hope to have the same confidence someday in repairing C64. I have a long way to go!
