Just FWIW:
I am currently restoring an Applix1616 (with the kit case pictured recently) as part of RetroChallenge 2023. I'm documenting it over on the ACMS forum.

The Applix1616 I have is a Rev B motherboard with the 15 Mhz mod applied. I've also got 2x Disk controller boards (same board, differently populated), plus a memory expansion board.
Early days yet, but doesn't look like there's anything wrong on the electronics side, tho I will be touching up a few things (eg: redo all the bodge wires, extra standoffs for the motherboard, etc). So far, most of this has been cleaning. Those holes in the back have let in a lot of dust, which is being stubborn.
