The project I volunteer for has 2 of these B&H apples and one IIplus
that we arn't sure what to do with. Do they really go for that much
money in Japan? :)

We do some surplus selling on ebay just to get some exposure. Like
right now we have a high speed scsi card up for auction. The problem
with vintage computer junkies, and I happen to be one myself, is they
are not really that common. I offered free apple IIe systems to anybody
in the philadelphia area a year ago and didn't get one taker. So we had
to junk over 30 complete systems.

By the way apple paddle controllers hav a DB9 male connector. We have
one on ebay now.

I have 5 more sets of these. Want to trade something for a set? :)

Take care
