Compaq portable questions (not laptop)

I have recently obtained a machine that when carried resembles a sewing machine in a carry case, marked Compaq Portable. It has a built in CRT and is evidentally an 8088 or 8086 machine judging by the 8 bit slots. Anyone have any info on it, and is there any collectability to these? I'm in the process of cleaning and repairing it but I will inevitably NOT keep it for myself due to space limits and am putting out feelers on the list first for possible buyers/traders. I don't expect a lot out of it, mostly what I have in it ($25) unless I have to put a lot of parts or work into it, which I doubt since it appears to be semi-working at the moment. I'll probably put it on ePay around the 20th once I get it functional and get no apparent responses. Any info or prospects appreciated.
