Rudys Retro Intel | Unbelievable: Repairing Apple III Monitor Easily @RudysRetroIntel | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Hello, everyone and welcome to Rudy's Retro Intel.
I have a very special treat for this video: an Apple III monitor that I found at a garage sale for free! What???
It looks like it has been well-preserved.
Will it work?
Can it be saved or go to e-waste??
Can basic maintenance fix it???
Come and see what happens!

This monitor was designed specifically for the Apple III computer, and it had some unique features.
1. It has a fine mesh on the CRT to reduce glare
2. It has a very slow phosphor refresh, which created a ghosting effect with any video movement
3. It also had a standard composite video input jack, which made it compatible with other computers, such as the Apple II series
The Apple III was released in 1980 as Apple's attempt to compete with the business market, but it was plagued by many design flaws and technical issues.
One of the most notorious problems was the overheating of the logic board, which could cause the chips to pop out of their sockets.
Some users even resorted to lifting and dropping their computers to fix them! We won't do that to the monitor!
However, because of the poor sales and reputation of the Apple III, this monitor was not very popular or widely distributed.
It was discontinued along with the Apple III plus in 1985, and it became a rare and sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts.
I hope you enjoyed this video, and I'll see you next time, Take care!
Thanks all the subscribers and viewer like you!
