: Apple //e criteria:	
: Case:	all its rubber feat and screws

Please note:  When my parents' ][e came from the factory, half of the
screws were missing.  

: Case:	not yellowed, check edge of the lid not exposed to UV
: Case:	not refurbished by bleach treatment to restore color
: Case:	original stuco texture, no smooth worn spots
: Keys:	characters on keys are white not black

A white-key ][e?!  That means you want one with the lid that has the
little Velcro dots on it.  Those are the ones you have to give two whacks
to the lid to get it to close right.

: Keys:	do not stick
: Keys:	not scratched from being struck with objects such as pencils
: etc.
: Keys:	must have original texture, not worn smooth
: Lid:	does not snap in place by some metal looking clips that are
: built into the rear edge of case
: Lid:	snaps in place by some thick heavy looking velcro-like type
: patchs on either side of the lid

Oh, I guess I should have read further down.  8-)
I think that is actually a metal lid...

: Lid:	not newer thinner version with the lip on either side the
: extends down into the machine
: Lid:	flat and thick like the ][ plus
: Lid:	apple logo must be perfect, not scratched or marred in any way
: Overall:	not enhanced, should show Apple ][ on boot
: Overall:	no missing keys
: Overall:	great and original condition (nothing has been replace
: like a keyboard, keys, CPU, memory, motherboard)
: Overall:	no dents
: Overall:	no scratches
: Overall:	no discolored smooth worn areas where monitor sits
: Overall:	dust and some dirt between keys from age is ok
: Overall:	no stains
: Overall:	oldest possible version of //e, no keypads, platinum,
: etc.

: Anything else that about it that might be of interest to a collector
: ie. original warrenty, etc..  


I presume you mean "original warranty DOCUMENTS"...and I hate to tell you
this, but if you have that certificate for a free 1-year subscription to
Softalk, you've missed out...  8-)
