I'm reposting this for Bill since there hasn't been local interest in the
last week. If you're local or near MD he's been trying to find a home for
these but only has until 8/20/13. Yes we've tried to sweet talk him into
shipping but he's been there and done that and is no longer interested in
doing so. He can be reached on the
vintage-computer.com forums. Here is
his post:

"I have IBM 5160 XT's that have to go due to major downsizing.

The chassis and internal components of both are very clean.
Some I have washed, some were new when installed.
One cabinet is pretty good. One has some small rust spots.
Both have 8087 math chips, and 640K on the motherboards.
One motherboard came as a 640K, the other was 256K which I
updated with bigger RAMs, added the missing mux chip, and changed
the jumper.
One has a single half height 360K floppy drive and working 20MB MFM
hard disk.
The other has two half height floppies and no hard drive. That one
has a clone power supply.
I think both have Mono cards, and one has a VGA.
The mono and VGA don't co-exist all that politely.
One has an Intel Above Board. And there's a Hercules graphics card
in the box.
FREE, LOCAL PICKUP ONLY in Bethesda MD USA (top of DC Beltway).
These must be collected by Tuesday, 20 August to save them from the
county metal/electronics recycling.
Send me a private msg or email through the forum if interested.
Bill "
