He had all kinds of Apple service parts and computers, plus lots of other Apple related parts and manual, he started to dump them, when I went there to get my iBook fixed, we started talking and went back to the storage, I almost died, I thought I was in Apple heaven. Over the next week I moved what I wanted and helped him get rid of the parts, mostly Mac parts of little or no value. I did get an Apple ///, which after a lot of work between both of us got it to finally work, not sure what I'm going to do with it, a museum offer to buy it and I'm considering it. One computer that really got my attention was a Woz edition IIgs that had a real signature on it along with the printed one, he had gotten it during a visit by Steve years ago to a dealer here he was working for.At the rate these prices are going, I'm just going to hang onto my SuperDrive Controller Card for another 20 years, sell it for $94,000 on ebay, and then pay for my future kid's college tuition. ;-)-WarrAn original Apple I might be worth that much or better by then.Oh, and you'd better have at least 2 good, working 2.0MB drives to go with that controller. Of course, should Henry have his way, his Superdrive card clone may render those original ones of lesser value. ;-)Bill Garber from GS-Electronics http://www.garberstreet.com"If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered."

I don't know about an Apple I, but from what I have been told an Apple /// is worth more then its weight in gold; Greg the friend that has the service center says he went to Apple School on it, but in his 25 years has never worked on one before we fixed the one I had found. about 2o years ago a store here in Riverside that sold ready to finish furniture had one with a oak computer desk, from what i remember it worked, I offered to buy it, he said he would think about it, shortly after that he went out of business, never found out what happened. I'm still talking to th guy in bostun who wants to buy it but we can't get set on a price.
