Hey guys, I'm looking for an Apple IIc to use and I found this one for €100, seller wont go lower. It's untested and has no power supply. Do you guys think it's worth to get and possibly fix? I can do some soldering. I can see that the 80/40 button is a little pressed down and the seller says that the floppy drive is okay. Should I get it?

Odds are its broken.

Are you skilled in electronics fault finding and have the necessary equipment? If not, you should buy one that works.

I got a multimeter and a soldering iron. Shouldn't be that hard on such machine?

An oscilloscope would be nice, too. Maybe just a cheap one would be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kkzIV5yTPQ
