IBM AT $130 Shipped BIN, ends soon
« on: Sat, 25 April 2015, 09:46:30 »
Surprisingly didn't see this here already...

The pictures show it hooked up an working.  It's missing the legs but I use the AT flat and it's fine.

Unfortunately, it's also missing the side leg handles, which are a pretty distinctive part of the AT's appearance.

The side handle is part of the leg piece.   If the leg's missing, the handle's missing.

I think those "ear tabs" are silly-looking and vulnerable to breakage.

They can be sanded down smooth (harder than you might expect) and they will not sit perfectly straight in the hole (which they didn't before, but it was hard to notice) and look quite normal.

Also, XT and AT types are not compatible.
