A viewer sent me a goodie box, containing parts that need work. The end goal: an Apple ][+. Let's see what's inside, and what work lies ahead. We'll also probably look at COMPUTER, as I know I need to order parts for it as well.
What parts are in the box? How bad could it be? And how many of COMPUTER's chips are now testing bad tonight? You'll have to watch to find out!

![COMPUTER Repair: My MCA Apple ][+ Clone Needs a Power Supply & 3 Sockets! (Computerized Start™ Live)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q80ly9p4EhY/mqdefault.jpg "COMPUTER Repair: My MCA Apple ][+ Clone Needs a Power Supply & 3 Sockets! (Computerized Start™ Live)
Back in September, I got COMPUTER, my Apple ][+ clone from MCA of Japan, powering up to the BASIC prompt. To do so, however, I had to disconnect the keyboard and use another Apples power supply. I think I have what I need to solve both problems.
The power supply was easy: just buy another power supply on eBay (the place where I buy the things I later regret™). I have a cap kit on-hand, thanks to the magic of buying the wrong kit for another project, so well go ahead and recap it.
The keyboard might be even easier: I should have used sockets without a lip for the three sockets that have cables installed into them: the keyboard, the joystick/paddle port, and the memory chip at E3. I purchased some sockets that should fit the cables that go into these sockets, allowing the cables to make and maintain good contact.
Will I get the power supply re-capped without drama? Will I swap the correct three sockets? Will COMPUTER still boot? Youll have to watch to find out!
