Apple II Rev 2 value?

I had a closer look at the Rev 2.  The keyboard is non functional (all the keys stick).  The ROMs are applesoft, not integer basic (it has a ram add on card too).  It powers up but nothing happens.  Would that still have us in the $2k range?

Yep.  I have a spare blank datanetics PCB if you want to transfer your switches to a PCB which doesn't have repairs.  This is for the version with the separate encoder daughter board.  

Cheers,

PSU seems to be a matter of debate, some have suggested to me it should be the silver A2M, others said it should be the gold 2+ style one I have in there now.  Not sure on that.  The keyboard is the original for sure, but I had to do some trace repair on it using short jumper wires.

>> Well your rev-4 setup isn't going to be worth top dollar because of the condition and clone motherboard, you don't mention if it's the original datanetics keyboard and if the powersupply is the original one.  Infact it may only be worth a couple of hundred dollars or less.
