This is an old IBM System 32 (S/32) vintage mini computer, with attached printer. This is an original, NON WORKING computer from the 1970's.
This was effectively the first mini computer produced by IBM, for the small business. It has an attached printer, internal processor, hard drive,
8" diskette drive, and a very small reflective mirror style screen. This computer has been in storage in a garage since the mid 1980's.
It DOES NOT WORK and would not work without at least adding a missing part, some kind of internal circuit board. In the mid 1980's a circuit board
was removed from the machine, in order to be put into a different System 32, which needed that part. I do NOT know exactly what the missing board
or part is. I do know for certain the computer will not work as it is, and it is being sold as is, as a non working collectors item.
Also please note the following:
It has been stored in non-heated garage for 25+ years, and is dirty on the outside and has some rusting on the outside.
I have not opened the machine and do not know the condition of the interior parts.
I can say all inside parts but the one part that was removed, are inside the machine but may or may not be usable.
There may be a missing outside piece or two, the printer attachments are there, in several pcs, but have been removed
from the back of the computer. What looks like a screen in front of the keyboard is not a screen, the screen is a very small mirror
on the left and in front of the keyboard, that reflects the small CRT that is placed flat on the computer top. The upside down text is then reflected
from the mirror, which corrects the text to be right side up!
There are no manuals or paperwork or diskettes.
This machine is HEAVY, very heavy. It took 4 burly guys to unload it from the truck when it was placed in the garage.
The computer can ONLY BE PICKED UP, within 10 days of the end of the auction, It must be picked up by midnight Nov 30, 2011.
It CANNOT be shipped. Only pickup at the site in Indianapolis, Indiana on the east side.
I will be charging 7% Indiana state sales tax, as the item will be picked up in Indiana.
This computer is being sold as is, where is and there are no returns of any kind.
This is an interesting old computer, which I expect that very few are still in existence.
If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you .
