Just picked up an IBM 5155 that works perfectly but it unfortunately missing the keyboard. Just wondering if anyone has a spare and maybe some other spare parts for this machine, since the front panel has a chip and the rear door is missing
 
I can, it has a standard 5160 motherboard so I've been using the model F from my 5150 but I actually wamt to carry it around occasionally so I want to find the original keyboard
 
Somebody probably fished that out of a plastics pile at a recycler after they cut the cord for another pile.

Isn't that keyboard hardwired to the computer?

No, it has an rj11 or some similar type of connector on the front between the screen and that drives.

I'm thinking of getting that keyboard but I'm wondering how hard it will be to make a new cable for it... Also, some sold recently for around $50, and this one is almost that expensive without the cord so I'm not sure
 
I believe I have a keyboard (no cable), motherboard, videocard and maybe a back door in my storage locker.
