Did you ever get yourself a IIe?
I dont really have the patience for repairing these days but sadly as you point out, its often a necessary part of the hobby. I have managed to get myself a IIe, in fact I think I might have 3 (definitely 2) now in my cupboard - the result of buying broken bits in order to try and have enough stuff to make a working one (which I have - yay!). Would be even better if I could make some space to have it set up so I could actually use it.... oh well, small steps I guess!
