I have just revieved an IBM 5145 Monitor that appears to be in great shape.
Case is in good condition (some smudges that will probably clean right off)
and I do get lights a screen flicker when I turn it on. I do not have a PC
Convertible to connect it to for testing however. But, judging by the
condition of the unit my bet is that it is working just fine. Information I
have been able to find about this item is below:
IBM 5145 PC CONVERTIBLE COLOR DISPLAY MODEL 1
The 5145 is a 13-inch (measured diagonally) color display that
displays in medium resolution (320 x 200). It is designed for those
customers whose application requirements will be satisfied by that
resolution. It is attached to the system unit via the CRT Display Adapter
(#4020). The display stand, an AC power cord, and a signal cable that
connects the 5145 to the CRT Display Adapter are provided with the 5145.
The display includes a speaker for external audio output. The 5145 will
display business and graphics data in 40 x 25 character mode. In 80 x 25
character mode, the 5145 can be used for word processing and text
applications.
My Question is, is there any interest in this item for anyone on this list?
If so, please contact me directly at gmanuel At gmconsultingNOSPAM dot net
(formatted correctly of course and removing the obvious spam discourager
lol).
I got it as part of a lot and am willing to let it go real cheap (based on
prices I have seen for them at liquidators and such) + shipping. Or even
possibly a even up trade for something of interest. (No I am not expecting a
fortune or an Altair for it LOL. You will find I am quite a resonable fellow
to deal with.).I am located just outside Philadelphia, PA. US only though
sorry.
