    Pre-hard drive unit you have there...The CPU is actually one of the smaller chips, will look like an IC chip, sometimes they are white ceramic with a gold top other times they are just plain. This is one of those really old units that required a disk to operate because it had no internal storage. Very nice find....Would not be surprised to hear that this computer still worked to be honest. Most of those old units could stand the test of time. Most of the boards look like they will fall into the telecom range. It may have value to a collector but that would have to be researched on eBay to know for sure. Certainly has value in scrap terms.
