Re: Apple II Europlus Kaput: Can I get/buy another one?

[Alistair J Ross <mail@ataliross.co.uk>]

Hello all,                                                                      

I have *no* idea where the sticky stuff came from.  
There are no children here (and the unit is almost always closed).
I did have a dodgy RAM problem, but I don't think that would cause the 
machine to just die like this -- it would more likely start up once in 
a while if that was the case, no? 
Anyway, I did swap the 6502 between the //e and the Europlus.  
Is this a BAD thing?                                                              
Many thanks in advance,                                                         Ali Ross
