I used to write manuals about them...

Have your brother contact directory assistance for Logan, Utah.

Ask them for the number of Sun Remarketing (*not* related to Sun
Microsystems at all...or Sun Electric, for that matter).

Sun sells and supports Apple///'s, ]['s, Lisa's and old Mac's.
They have all the surviving manuals and software and parts and
peripherals for the ///.  Your brother could even get another
/// with monitor and software to keep his current one company
for less than $300.
