Same issue as me. You can save a buttload of money by just recapping all but the primary caps in the PSU. It's a $20 job.

Recapping the Disk IIs cost no more than 25 cents, as I had all the caps on hand. I would like to get to the PSU eventually.

You can use ADTPRO to bootstrap and transfer Apple II disk images to II+ using the audio out on your Mac or PC connected to the cassette input on your II+.

I tried audio bootstrap with ADTPro... it worked 3/4ths of the way, but refused to send the actual ADTpro disk image to the II.

I would pull the disk ][ controller card for now. That way, when you power it up, it'll go directly to the Applesoft prompt, without you having to do either the RESET key or CTRL-RESET to go to BASIC. Also, if you're in the states, PM me your address... May have to send you a care package.

Good to know. Also PM sent.
