So my grandmother recently died and I was cleaning out her basement and found this old thing. The monitor was nowhere to be found and it doesn't appear to have the traditional VGA hookup.
What do?
Also does this make me a macfag now?

oh noes
you contracted THE GAYS
what else did you find? pics of your grandma and her oldschool dildo
iirc the old apples use y/c connection which is essentially s-video. post video connector and I'll tell you what you need for a display
Apple IIe from the looks of it, might be an earlier one. Not rare or valuable but fun to play around with. If you're lucky you might find someone in your area selling an old composite CRT monitor that will work with it on Craigslist.
I snagged a fully worked Apple IIGS with disk drives, monitor, and keyboard/mouse for $20 last year. Nice little piece of history, and the nostalgia b/c we had a million of the things setup in the computer lab when I was in middle school.
>iirc the old apples use y/c connection which is essentially s-video
Apple II is RCA composite you ninny. This entire thread is why nu-Sup Forums sucks shit.
rip granny
it's a II plus, Im pretty sure it has a 15 pin connector that can do rgb, I think I was mixing it up with the commodore. I dont keep a detailed list of ancient pcs in my memory
>it can do rgb
nice meme
it's a II+ dipshit it says it right on the fucking front of it
Nah it just does composite out to a television or monitor
t. II+ owner
lol, faggot
Hmm good to know... I have an old TV I can use.
You need to improve your handwriting.
Maybe he doesn't want to show his hand writing.
OP here... Fuck guys. Just plugged it in to my TV and turned it on. It made a weird popping noise from the power supply and this horrible smelling smoke emitted from it. Guessing I just blew it up.
>Grandma rigged her apple 2 to Nuke itself if she wasn't the one operating it
Holy shit man your grandma is a criminal
Open up the case, check the capacitors on the board. Good chance some, if not most will have to be replaced. Any cap that's bulging at the top has got to go. Do the same for the power supply.
Shit's probably just old as hell and the caps have deteriorated depending on how it was stored and where you live. Probably an easy fix and on something that old it's worth it, boxes like that sure as fuck aren't getting any younger.
Post her nudes.
Replace the caps.
Search each cap value and make sure you find both the appropriate capacitance and voltage rating for each cap. Also make a thread when you go to fix it so we can laugh at you if you fuck up.
grandma programmed that fucker to explode if someone else tried to use it
nigga your grandma was hustling something illigal
