Restoring a Classic Apple Computer | Apple IIe

In this video I restore an Apple IIe computer. I completely teardown the Apple II, clean it, repair it, and and fire it back up when I'm done. The keyboard has a broken key switch, which I repair, and I will be replacing the film "RIFA" capacitors in the power supply. Also I clean 40+ years of dirt, grime, dust, and pot seeds, out of this old school district computer. A previous owner must have been Tommy Chong. 🤣🤣🤣 I would also like to give a huge shoutout to James Mitchell. He is the one I bought the key switch from on Ebay. I have posted a link to his Ebay store and a link directly to the key switches below.👍👍👍 Lastly, I would like to give another shoutout to ReActiveMicro. This is the store I purchased the film "Rifa" caps from. I posted a link to their store and also directly to the caps. 👍👍👍 Link to James' Ebay Store https://www.ebay.com/usr/j.b.mitchman...
