Following with my recent success in getting a perfect working XT a couple of weeks ago, I've now picked up a 5150!
It's very grubby, having sat in a warehouse for many years, but it should clean up nicely. All I can tell from the photos is that it's a dual-drive system and it boots into BASIC 1.10. It also has the monochrome 5151 monitor. No disks or keyboard, sadly.
The same guy also had an EARLY 5150, 16-64k and 3-screw case, but the mainboard was dead. I'll probably pass on that due to postage costs. Very rare in the UK, since the IBM's never officially went on sale until 1983!
All I need now is an AT :D
