Hopefully whoever bids on it has the intention of collecting a working vintage computer. Keyboard poaching is just bad. You don't want people betting on Apple extended keyboard just for the metal logo then trash the board. Same goes for vintage computers. This is the reason why I only look for broken Apple IIc for harvesting switches.

The keyboard should be KT F&F, btw.

Lol If someone here pays close to a $1000 to poach that keyboard they have deeper problems than poaching.  Also, with 5140s and Apple IICs, the fact that they are broken usually means they can be had for cheaper anyway.
I've come to view humanity as predominantly monkey business.

If you were to buy the Wang and someone said the obligatory "Do you even lift bro?" You could come back with "Do you even Wang bro?" Total mind fk. :p

I think it's really strange to see a 10mb HDD. As a kid, I thought the OS was loaded from a floppy on all computers. My family computer from the 80's was like that. MSDOS in one drive and impossible to play Mega Man in the other drive. Well not actual floppies, close I guess (5.25in)

Damn, was somewhat hoping it was a cheap system running Wang VSOS in working condition to play around with.  Pretty awesome, though.
