Closed Ibm 5150 pc

soeter04 · Jan 12, 2016

Howdy all,

Lack of real estate and funds have finally driven me to the decision of brutally trimming down my collection of old computers and keep the focus on consoles and handhelds only. Over the coming weeks, i'll list most of my digital children here. These have all been part of my collection for the past 2 to 3 years, and have always been stored well (dry, warm, wrapped, neatly tied cables, etcetera). I've only been collecting working specimens, and have tested them before they went into storage. Before shipping, i will of course confirm that they still work. I'll test the AV out and keyboard, if buyer wants me to test any further, i'm open for suggestions. Lack software and peripherals for many systems though.

On to the main course, today's offer is an IBM 5150, the first computer that was called a PC, if i recall correctly.
Comes with the famous keyboard, and the monitor. Has some cards fitted: color video, mono video/printer, and what looks to be a serial or parallel interface, on the leftmost side (see pics).

All working fine, and cosmetically in pretty decent shape too. It does have some marks and scratches, and two noteworthy issues (that can also be seen in the pics):
- the metal on the rear of the computer is bent a little around the power button plastic, and part of the plastic snapped off.
- the plastic on the top side of the monitor is bulged a little bit around the 'seam' (presume due to heat).
