Moving back here I made 4 trips, loaded truck and trailer, and it woulda paid me to made another load, but i was gettin tired of travelin. Almost exactly 600 miles one way my door there to my door in here

Sorry I didn't get any pics up today but tommorow I promise....The Ibm 5360 yielded a lot of material including high grade boards, transformers as big as a human head...LOL, lots of wire, and the monster memory drives plus about 500lb of scrap metal....Oh well I did that and three other large machines with the help of dear old dad....Picks tommorow I promise

NOW WTF....LOL I need a buyer for this anyone interested....Just kidding but these things are heavy with the metal chasis and all probably close to 75lbs....Any ideas from the escrap buyers???? Any help would be appreciated, this is a learning experience for me with this machine and I am trying to share with the group

I LOVE this forum ! (As if !) Thanks for the beautiful pics Mike. What a nice thread. congrats again.

Thanks for the kind words......This is probably the only one of these computers I might ever get and me and my dad had fun tearing it down last night....Now back to work

The first model of the S/36 was the 5360. Weighing in at 800 pounds, costing (US) $100,000 and more, it was certainly no laptop, and on a good day it might have cranked up to 20 MHz. But in 1983, it was faster than any of the so-called "Personal Computers (PCs)" you could buy. The 5362 was a mere 150 pounds, and at US $20,000, set the pace for corporate computing.

I am having a hard time finding in any info on this.....I was hoping some of the escrap buyers might chime in here

Very cool. I don't think they would fit in any of my buckets!
