Vintage IBM 5150 with 386 CPU, 20MB HD, 5151 monitor, keyboard & WordPerfect
Price: US $950.00
I bought this IBM PC Jan 3, 1984. After three years of only using 5 ¼ floppies, I upgraded it with a 386 processor and 20 MB hard drive. However, I kept the original 5150 motherboard and cards in case I ever wanted to restore it to its original performance. I never did, but THEY ARE INCLUDED in the sale.It’s been on a closet shelf since 1995. When I took it down and turned it on, it booted up as if no time had passed. That’s a testament to how well these history-making PCs were made. From the photos, you can see it’s been well cared for. DOS 3.3 and WordPerfect loads like new. Also included are its original IBM 5151 monitor, a vintage Precision Instruments keyboard, original WordPerfect Instruction Manual, two rare anti-glare screens, a box of floppy disks ready for formatting, a vintage 5 ¼” Diskette Drive Cleaning Kit and of course, the original motherboard and cards; which are yours to reinstall or sell to another 5150 connoisseur, your choice. It’s ready for you to write your novel.
