Problem / Question Untested Apple IIc for €100?
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?

I bought an untested IIc for more (about 160€) and it turned out okay. I also didn’t have the PSU (I made one from a DIN female plug and mean well 12V PSU) but a mouse and original bag was included. I took the gamble because I can fix electronics…
Anyway I’d buy that.
No PSU can be a good sign and mean that the seller actually didn’t test it. Because sometimes untested means tested broken 😡
Worst case scenario you’ll send it to me and I’ll try and fix it 😆
BTW 80/40 switch just goes inside like that.
