I've recently developed an interest in adding an original IBM PC/AT (5170) to my collection, with an EGA display (5154 monitor) and the early AT keyboard with the push-to-turn foot knobs on the sides. It seems that those aren't cheap lately on the eBay. I also have a TRS-80 Model 12 that's been made a bit redundant by my Tandy 6000 project and the TRS-80 Model II that I have on the way. I've overhauled the keyboard with new foam pads, replaced the Rifa caps after one of them got a bit over-excited, fixed a shorted cap on one of the floppy drives, and other such stuff to make it work. It doesn't have the card cage option. Do y'all suppose that my Model 12 might be a fair trade for an original PC/AT system, if anybody was so inclined to make the trade? And if so, might there be anybody around southern California who would be interested in meeting up to make such a swap without the need to pack and ship either of the heavy, fragile beasts? -- Mark J.
