I hate using the word "rare" in vintage computer listings, but this one kind of fits the bill. I purchased this machine several years ago as a show piece. I love the s...tylish curves of the case and it looked great just sitting on my desk. It was originally used in an office, but it was moved into a storage room and forgotten about for a few decades until the business relocated. The seller I purchased it from tried turning it on but it did not power up. I bought it as a non-working machine with the hope of one day resurrecting it. It's in really nice shape from a cosmetic standpoint and there's only one small crack in the case (see last photo). I love looking it at, but I just don't have room for it in my new house.
I have connected this machine to power and the power supply fan runs, but the computer does not boot. I have done no further testing of any kind on this computer. It might be a simple fix, it might be more complicated, I can't make any guarantees on whether it will work or not, or what is even wrong with it.
Bidding starts at $1, you decide what it's worth. U.S. bidders preferred, but I will ship worldwide if you're willing to pay the shipping. Please note that the box is 22"x22"x22" and weighs 45lbs (56cm x 56cm x 56 cm, 20kgs). I will also be putting the actual sales price on any customs forms that I'm required to attach. Overseas shipping will be expensive.
