Craigslist hasn’t had any for as long as I’ve been looking. eBay is getting increasingly expensive, particularly when you factor in shipping.
I’m looking for one to buy to install a rare SwyftCard (Jef Raskin, Canon Cat, etc.) into as part of a class project at UT, if that makes any difference for anyone. I already have the SwyftCard, just need the Apple.
Anyone have one they’re looking to get rid of? Or know where to look for one? Ideally it’d be a platinum (the one with the extended keyboard), have at least one floppy drive and a serial card. 80 column card, speech synth, additional RAM, printer or monitor optional, but I’d be interested in any of them.
