I got lucky recently and picked one up off ebay for 19.99. It was a
real treat 'cause it came with the original box and styro packing,
manuals, diskettes. Still had the 64k/80 col card installed, a
superserial ii card installed (unopened manual), and a disk i/o card.
SCORE!!! Oh yeah, and after I cleaned it up and powered it on, it
works fine!

Light yellowing around keyboard area only also!
