Wtb: Ibm 5150

[Yzzerdd]

Well I have an IBM 3270. No luck in selling it. I REALLY want an IBM 5150, but am low on money. Simple low cost solution? I am looking for the case and chassis of an IBM 5150, as well as the motherboard and one Tandon full height floppy drive. I do not care if it is missing a power supply or any cards. I am just looking for a working IBM 5150(WITH cassette port) motherboard, and a case and chassis in good condition. Again, I have one Tandon drive and a power supply. I am willing to pay shipping and a little more for the computer. I would really like to have an IBM keyboard, but no big deal if I can't get it. I am willing to trade my 3270 full of cards and a hard drive for this, and maybe a little money, or just pay shipping+some money for the computer. Either way, I would much rather deal with a member of the forums who is above junior member status. I also have other things I would be willing to trade. I have a few extra 5.25 floppy drives(black), as well as a slightly off topic Pentium 1 laptop. Please contact me via PM about trade and purchase enquiries.

if you haven't already done so, you should check your local craigslist and/or freecycle sites to see if you can dredge one up from somewhere locally. I managed to pick up a 286 and 386 via craigslist in a couple weeks worth of postings, and you'll save a LOT in shipping that way. Considering how many of those beasties were made, there's got to be one nearby.
