| comments | Item is being sold as-is, untested, parts only. Item includes original IBM shipping box (12.5″ x 9.75″ x 4.75″) (316mm x 250mm x 120mm) with foam. Although the item appears to be new old stock from the IBM warehouse, after 41 years, the original 1985 foam has significantly degraded, and the fragile IBM model F case plastic has cracked and deteriorated. |
