help resurrect an Apple ][



Well I just received an Apple ][ in the mail. As in original Apple ][, the one 
before the ][+ even. The thing is it's missing a memory chip. Trying to track  
down a 16K memory chip has been futile so far. Can anyone who used to have an  
old ][ or ][+ help? As it came, it would turn on and beep but there was no     
video. I tried removing an entire bank of chips, which got it where it would   
flash a screen of question marks on the screen before going blank. Does anyone
know if you have to change anything on the logic board when installing or      
removing memory? Does the memory start at the front row and go back or at the
back row and go forward? Better yet, does anyone have any of the right kind of
memory chips around or know of any? It will be really cool if I can get this
fossil up and running.
