It was a little over $40, but $18 of that was shipping to the US. Normally I can get my parts shipped for less than $5, but since these were bigger, it increased the shipping costs substantially. I'm hoping I can get my new back plate and knob + knob fillers for cheaper. I agree on the...

Well, the main reason I got it was the keyboard, and while the machine itself is not working at the moment, I finally got a beautiful Apple Desktop Bus Keyboard. It cleaned up very nice. :

I don't think the list price is actually 50k. He even states the ebay prices add up to $22k. As others have said, it's probably worth more in the $5-8k range, to the right buyer. But it would be someone willing to put in the work to sell each item individually. Because looking at his "used...

Finally got around to disassembling the Eyoyo LCD. Things make a lot more sense after seeing the parts from the LCD and your prints together, after removing the support post. I tried using the existing mounting bracket to secure the LCD and it worked, but then I discovered the likely reason...

Yeah, this one has a very nice case that I will likely use a s my keeper machine. I put the accelerator into my existing machine and it seems to speed things up, although I can’t remember if the IIgs already ran Apple II games too fast. It definitely was too fast to be playable when I ran...

Awesome! That you so much for the reply. And that separate spot clearly is the perfect size for the usb-c trigger board. I should have figured that out. Thanks again for the explanation and for all the work you put into this! Is there an additional small piece that goes into the slot in...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Yes, not startup sound at all. And won’t go into self test mode. I cleaned the board and replaced 4 caps that I had replacements for on hand. No change. I pulled out my known working IIgs and decided to confirm the ROM and CPU accelerator were working, and...

No rush. I have the 8” to build so hopefully I can figure out the post and get the remaining parts ordered. I also am a little unclear on the assemble of the knobs it appears you take a small Allen key and have to cut down both ends of the key to a specific length. The probably glue it into...

Today, even though I’m trying to downsize my collection, I ended up picking up an apple IIgs that is a ROM 01 machine and looked to have a box full of accessories. The main reason I got it was because it had the original Apple desktop bus keyboard, which I’ve always wanted to add to my keyboard...

So my JLC3DP order arrived! Unfortunately, I didn't fully look at the instructions enough to realize that some of the parts need to be printed twice. Maybe in your instructions you could call out that there are two parts that need multiple prints (the knob and the cable hooks). Or maybe in...

I don’t believe there were any differences at all on the logic board. I haven’t spotted any so far. In my limited time with it so far, I actually find the build quality and case didn’t much improved over the incredibly fragile plastics of the beige g3 desktop. No as easy to work with as...

Im guessing. Basically between the Workgroup Server line and the Xserve that would come out in the G4 era.

I listed a ton of my extras and unused items on FB Marketplace and have been having a hectic time trying to manage the responses you get when you list 70 Vintage Apple devices all at once! Lesson learned. However, I ended up talking with a local woman who really loves CRTs and she really...

That's why I had to create an inventory management system... I kept forgetting what I had and what I had done to each thing. I haven't cataloged all the random parts, though...

I have the other revision that has composite video on, but I'm hoping the button control board is the same. But it does look like there are a bunch of different variants of the same controller boards. I even found this one which would be cool for my SE inspired LCD panel - a ton of inputs in...
