The newer model with the internal P/S and 3.5" drive (and 3.3Mhz 65C02) is
the Apple //c+.

Good luck. The LCD display was an external add-on that you could either
buy from Apple or third-parties that manufactered them. They're still in
high demand believe it or not because Japanese LOVE Apple ]['s, still put
them to regular use, and pay premiums for the LCD display for the //c
(I've seen them go for $300 and up). One lucky bastard on this list found
one at his local thrift shop for $4.98 (you know who you are!) I haven't
seen one go for less than $250 on the online auctions, and that's when
they come up, which is not very often.

You can find these (at least around here) occasionally in thrift shops and
at flea markets (I just saw one last Sunday complete with external disk
drive and the tiny 8" monitor in excellent condition). They're not too
difficult to find. If you want a good deal, shop the usenet newsgroup
comp.sys.apple2.marketplace. In fact I just went over there and found
several people selling //c's (including one of the list members here) and
will be forwarding them to you.
