Apple III FOUND in an Attic After 40 Years!

This is Part 2 of a multi-part series, where I uncover an incredible Apple III hidden in an attic for decades!

This episode is all about opening it up for the first time, checking for damage, and seeing if this rare Apple computer survived. The Apple III was one of Apple's biggest failures—but can we bring this one back to life?

In this episode, I’ll be:
✅ Opening an Apple III found in an attic after 40 years.
✅ Checking for hidden dangers like exploding batteries, leaky capacitors, and corrosion.
✅ Looking at the history of the Apple III—why did it fail?
✅ Examining the chips inside.
✅ Showing rare Apple III commercials and marketing from the '80s.
✅ Discussing what’s next—testing and possible restoration.
