Here is your chance to own one of the rarest IBM microcomputers of all -- the IBM 5110.
The item has a very clicky beamspring keyboard, with very rare BASIC keycaps. All keycaps are present, and all switches click. The C key feels different than the others, and must be pressed harder in order for it to click.
This item is in good cosmetic condition, but has some scratches, scuffs, and chips. This is normal, given that the item is from 1978. An original IBM label is on t...he front of the machine.
The power supply has been mostly recapped, with many of the electrolytic capacitors having been replaced. The computer powers on, but the CRT does not turn on. The indicator lights, however, do turn on.
ITEM IS SOLD AS-IS
LOCAL PICKUP IN HOUSTON IS ALSO OFFERED.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: PLEASE CONTACT FOR SHIPPING COSTS BEFORE PURCHASING.
