I am getting rid of a few of my projects. This is a Franklin Ace 1000 with basic v 2.2. a nice apple II plus clone. All the parts have a matching serial number label on them. I have dissembled, cleaned, and reassembled the computer, it is functioning. powers and starts up fine. I have installed new texelect foam and foil replacement pads in the keyboard, all of the keys work, but a couple are flaky (+=, { }, space bar, and 3 on the number pad). I will include the extra replacemen...t pads i have, I think the keys can be fixed if the pads are swapped with different ones. The power led is not hooked up to anything. The disk controller card is included. i have tested the unit with a disk drive and loaded a few apple II games from a disk. The games seemed to function properly as far as i could tell. I also wrote a small basic program and ran it just fine (the standard repeating hello world program.) the computer has two holes drilled in the back of the case (it was in a school and had locking device installed at one point.) Also someone has covered the bottom labels with clear packing tape. the name badge is also missing. See pictures for more info. auction includes only the computer and no cables. i will remove the disk controller card and pack it outside of the computer to make sure it doesn't become loose and damaged during shipping. The computer is being sold as-is no returns or refunds.
