	Well, I can't recommend too much for the Mac.  However, the
high-voltage section in the Mac shouldn't be too hard to fix using
stock parts, I should think.

	With the older Apples (II/II+) it's no problem, since they
were built with off the shelf parts (Not much of a budget for custom
chips then).  The IIe is a different story since it has two or three
custom chips that take the pace of all the discrete logic in the
II/II+.

	The Disk II shoudldn't be tough to fix either.  It's hardly
anything at all.  I would say if your dealer can't or won't
fix it, find a friend who's not adverse to handling a
soldeiring iron and get him to put it back together.
(Assuming it's the circuitry, not the actual drive
mechanism.
