IBM 5110 (5100)

[D. Resor]

It looks as if it needs at least a replacement CRT.  From one image it
appears to be phosphor is blown away in the middle screen. The only way I
know of this happening, is the neck of the CRT, or the evacuation nipple has
been cracked/broken.

Yes, that was/is the one. So it has been relisted. It had been listed as a
5100 or 5100-C earlier, then delisted, and I couldn't find a new listing for
anything like a 5100 or 5110 this morning.

It might be easy to fix. Or it might have the computing potential of a
doorstop.
