Dale, It has always been my opinion that Apple designed their power supplies to fail. They put heat shrink on numerous resistors on the circuit board and the heat buildup would fry those components. The later series Apple //e power supply was an improvement but it also had lots of 1 ohm resistors on the circuit board that would open up and stop the power supply dead. I have replaced hundreds of those 1 ohm resistors in my day. They also used a SGS Tompson power transistor that nobody made a replacement for. SGS did not sell retail so the only fix was to send the dead power supply back to Apple for repair/replacement. I used to rob the SGS transistors from the Apple //Gs power supplies because they were in warranty and the //e power supplies were not. I have fixed hundreds of the //e and //gs power supplies in my day and I had a special jig of power resistors with a fan blowing on the resistors to burn in the repaired supply. Those were the days of soldering and unsoldering components by the box full. The Apple //e power supply had a 6.3 mf 10 volt caps that would open up. We replaced them with 6.3 mf 16 volt caps and that repaired the problem. Any power supply we took in for repair always had that capacitor replaced first thing.

If you are talking about any power supply from the platinum IIes, then I have found them more problematic, failure-wise, than the older models. Any Apple IIe power supply isn't worth much, yet, if it ever will be. Five bucks plus postage, to me, is about a fair a price as you can get. But I have a whole horde of them in the garage. If I thought they would be worth putting on eBay, I would have done it long ago. I've had to change-out, platinum with old black ones that worked just fine. Working with 60 Apple IIes in a grade school, the ONLY ones I ever had go down were the aluminum ones I found in Platinum IIes.
