hello
nice one indeed - no visible rust, and time correct part (only one silver bracket).
I really love those old 5150A's!
But, my favorite is the one i did spot in december 2017, with serial number 103169, including an Inboard 386

...but it later went for a mere 90$ :wow:

(not me either selling or buying either computers)

Why is the floppy ribbon cable gray instead of the original blue?

 

[romanon]

IMHO computer was without FDD's and current owner added new double sided drives also with new cable.

Eh, me too now, with some problems... Strange, it looks like normal PC (B) with some after modifications. No photo from rear and, absence of original PSU...but metal speaker suggest some more.
