    Will do. It turns out a couple of the pins were slightly bent. But I eased it back in there. Couldn't figure out the fans tho. Didn't have long to mess with it before leaving for work though. I really hope it starts. The case shows sign of rust it was in a carport so not all the way out the weather. I'm going back with my scale . Gonna try and clean this guy out. He's not looking for a lot of money.

    Good luck with everything else - you'd be surprised how durable those things are.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I have one. It's not going to be scrapped. It'll likely be worth more in 40 years, plus it's a neat piece.

    As for the price, these go for way more than the 386/486 chips. These are very, very heavy CPUs.

    You've found the Holy Grail.
