Yes, canadian dollars.
Any tips to find out if this already does have or not:
hardware upgrades, etc? Because I can not open it up on site and
does not have anything, no boot disk, no power cord. Just that.
This store is more of rummage junk store with old parts in bins.
Lot of vague useful parts (GOOD THING I can identify most of them
from my experience), oddball heatsinks (some of them
are subaverage
type or bit pricey), lots of old and new motors, transformers, old
capacitors (not fresh enough), batch of new junk parts comes usually
once a month.
All I do is letting you know if anyone is interested in this Osborne.
