    This needs lots of TLC. Case looks like it has structural integrity. If
    I was interested in ANOTHER MCA system, this would be a restoration. Not foolin' anyone.

    PSU might be functional, the system shows a 211CZ, which is totally understandable, as no memory is installed.

    Keyboards are another thing.

    The PSU is an industrial one, with the extremely uncommon NiCd battery pack.

    Evapo-Rust the interior, follow up with Rustoleum zinc spray paint.
    Outside of the case can stay rough.

    This thing is a tank. Shipping will be stiff.

    This is "right in my backyard", no more than 10 miles away. If I was interested, I might be able to pick it up cheap since I wouldn't have to
    pay for shipping. I'm not interested.
