back to the OP, no its not an apple 2 if you havent worked that out yet, but rather a output device stylized in a similar fashion, it just happens to resemble an apple ][, but it really could be tossed in with any keyboard-puter from the era
the interesting thing about it tho, its untested since the interface card / cable is missing.. but it also runs on regular ascii, so if a pin probe was done it should not be all that hard to get it working with any other serial interface do-dad out there (which does not specifically mean RS232, but its easy enough to convert)
if I had a reason to, and there was a 5 missing off the front of the price, it would be a fun hack, but these things were somewhat common place in schools and government, one could check their surplus and then ebay it like nasa made it for the pope
