Re: My Apple ][+ is now very, very sad...

Ok, running caseless does nothing. The RCA connector on the board
looks a little bit tarnished, but according to several RCA cables and
my multimeter, (yay continuity tester with audio!) it works fine. I
also forgot to state earlier that last night I broke out my good ol'
chip extractor and pulled and reseated ever single socketed chip. The
only ones that seemed to have any type of corossion on them at all
were the RAM chips that have the little Apple logo on them, Mostek
8235s. But I do not think they are causing the problem.
