Merry Christmas! The perfect present for an IT Pro and collector of vintage computers.
IBM 5170 AT Computer with F-Model Keyboard, CGA Monitor, 21MB CMI Hard Drive, 5.25" and 3.5" removable media drives, 1991 Creative Sound Card, ORIGINAL PACKAGING and many original manuals included.
I have 35 total images available of this system to share. Ebay will not let me share more than 12 photos and blocks links to my Google Photo Album for the system. Please message me for... the direct link.
I purchased this system at an Estate Sale of a former IBM Software Engineer. It is truly in outstanding condition. As you can see by the photos, it was taken care of well and is likely the nicest IBM AT system crossing Ebay for some time. The machine boots perfectly from Hard Drive. it is quiet and very clean. The F Model, Buckling Spring Mechanical keyboard is truly LIKE NEW!
The issues and unknowns I am aware of are as follows:
- Some paint scratching on the bottom of the system unit.
- One scratch on the front top of the system unit (red circle).
- A few light scratches on the top of the monitor (red circles).
- It is unknown if the two removable disk drives are fully operable. Both seem to work and try to read media but fail. This could be a setting in the machine, the drive heads may need cleaning or my media is simply bad.
- The CGA monitor has a tint shift to the right. I do not know what this is. It lights, works and stays operable for many hours.
Shipping: This is a tough one. I personally would want to preserve the original packaging which means all boxes must be re-packaged to protect their originality. I do not know how to price this and I do not want to guess how the buyer may want to handle this part of the transaction. I can promise that I will package and deliver to a local shipping point at my cost and my time. Of course, a local pickup in my locale of 89129 would be best. I am also available to deliver the system within 200 miles. Because of the Shipping Complexities, I am listing the item as "local pickup only".
Last but not least, I am interested in trading for an Amiga 1000 system in similar condition.
Thank you for your interest.
