IBM PS/2 Model P70 - 8573-121
Price: US $425.00
Machine powers up and POSTS (Has one long and 2 short beeps)
The display does not have any output, I have not investigated why (It worked when this item was placed into AC-controlled storage)
Keyboard is clean and in good condition, LEDs light up on power-on.
Case has a damaged corner as pictured. Rubber handle is discolored but not tacky.
The CMOS battery is depleted at about 1v, no leakage.
IBM 34F3053 Enhanced memory expansion adapter complete with 4x 2MB memory modulesIBM 74F9883 Token Ring Adapter 16/4 installed
HDD appears to work with no strange sounds, indicator LED functions as normal.
Motherboard / Planar has 386 DX 20Mhz processor, the optional math co-processor is not present. Has 4x 2MB modules installed.
Floppy drive makes the right noises and lights up, but is untested. These are notorious for developing leaky caps that can be easily repaired.
The usual dust and dirt is present, but is overall in a clean condition.Like many of these, the display hinges are broken.This unit is interesting as it has labels indicating it was in IBM's inventory at RTP.A small heat sink that became detached will be included. The chip that it should be on is located beneath the very end of the mem exp board, marked PAL16L8DC.Machine weighs almost 21lbs.
Great for a restoration project!
As this item is fragile, it will be carefully packaged. The keyboard will be detached and the display protected. Working on getting an external display connected to do further testing and will update this listing accordingly.--Update--
I will not be able to test the video output in the foreseeable future. Open to reasonable offers.
Contact me for shipping related questions, the cost should be somewhere around $60
