Hello!

I scavenged the XT for the flippies, and alphas. If anyone wants the rest, they can come get them. I'm in Walnut Creek, CA.

I'm not sure but maybe someone wants the barrels, pcb, plate, or case to work on a mod. It did not come with a space bar. I hate to throw anything IBM related away. Anyways it's FREE, if interested PM me.  :)

What use did you have for the flippies but not the barrels?

I used the flippies for my kishsaver. The original ones all had rust on them. The XT barrels are not compatible with the the kishsaver, AT or F122.

Shame to throw it away.

You should pull the cable, controller, and legs anyway.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
