Re: Platinum Colored Apple IIe Peripherals?



The monitors are the rarest, however- being newer, though relative ...
but made at a time when less were made- they are not as easy to find.

They did make a Platinum Monitor //, and towards the end it was just
the Monochrome composite that was offered. The one that looks like a
IIgs RGB.

System Savers, etc. The only thing you will not find is a platinum //e
with standard keyboard.

Now, for the other side of the spectrum:

http://twitpic.com/cvwef A //e case - it's actually a test from the
injection mold before finalizing, as you can barely see, the
texturizing is not present. It also appears to be beige, not platinum.
It's actually platinum, but with one of the most uniform yellowing
make-overs ever. Very consistent and not very intense.

Perhaps I'll retrobrighten it. It's not a good candidate for my
alternate, retr0blast, because of the change that would bring to the
mirrored like smooth surfaces, which is a moot point with the
texturized surface as thats already .. well, dull and texturized.
