    Old chips

    Hey thanks for the information / suggestions! It's kind of a labor of love. These things are interesting to me only because they were to my husband. I don't want to destroy anything a collector would like to have. Charging a price would, I hope, safeguard them from being scrapped. I...

    Thanks for the information! This forum is great. I came on here not even knowing what the thing was or how to open it. And now I have an ad online to sell it with a price I feel is right and enough information to not embarrass myself as I go forward.

    Thank you for all this great information! Would you advise not powering it on at all? Yep, I'm a thrower not a keeper -- no cords around that look even close to what this computer needs. Most likely I sent it's original cord to Goodwill. I would definitely have to buy a cord. Was going to...

    Wonderful! Thanks for all your help with this!! I will go buy a power cord. Can the machine be harmed by my powering it on after all these years? As far as I can tell everything is in great shape. All keys are there on the keyboard. I don't have any floppy disks though. If it powers on ok, what...

    If I understand you correctly, both sides have recessed areas (one side where the power switch and plug is and the other side where that video cable cord is).

    Old chips

    My late husband worked in high tech in the 70's, 80's and part of the 90's. In going through things in the basement, I'm finding he kept quite a few chips and transistors and other such things. I'm told some of it is scrapable for precious metals. Some of the chips might be collectible in...

    You are brilliant! All these years it has been sitting in the basement, and I had no idea. It's really cute. Now, please tell me if the power cord is hidden someplace, because I'm not finding one.

    Are you saying the keyboard is inside? Well, this is embarrassing, but I can't figure out how to open it.

    Does this have any value? The third picture best represents the actual color.

    Would like to sell this but have no idea what to ask for it. Any suggestions regarding price would be appreciated! Tried to upload a picture here, but I keep getting a message that it exceeds what is allowed, etc. There is no monitor with this. Does not say IBM on it. Has carrying handle...
