Vintage Kaypro 2/2X Portable Computer With Keyboard, software, manuals CIB

Description: Kaypro 2X The CPU powers on and prompts to insert a disk into drive A. During my testing, the screen displayed scrambled characters a couple of times (see photos). Occasionally the screen would stay blank and I would have to power down and reboot for it to show up. My research suggests this is likely due to incorrect voltages powering the screen and that replacing the capacitors in the power supply might fix the problem. All of the original software is included; however, I could not get anything to boot. The CP/M disk started to boot but never seemed to finish. I would guess that the disks have gone bad, but the drive itself might be the culprit. Maybe a simple head cleaning would help, but also maybe the same power supply issue is to blame. The cosmetic condition is extremely good with a couple of exceptions: A few of the external screw heads on the sides have a bit of oxidation. There are also a couple of small spots of oxidation on the steel portion of the CRT tube frame. This does not have any affect on function. There is no oxidation apparent on any of the electronics (see photos). There are 4 screws missing from the keyboard assembly. These 4 screws hold the silver part of the keyboard into the blue bottom portion. All of the original documentation and packaging is included. The external boxes are in rough shape, however, with wear and tear as well as some writing and shipping stickers. Everything is sold AS IS. Nothing is guaranteed to function except as described above. SHIPPING INFORMATION:Shipping dimensions are 24" x 21" x 17" and 53 pounds. USPS Ground Advantage is likely the least expensive, but from Alaska this can take 2-4 WEEKS to arrive. This is because the first leg of the journey (Juneau AK to Seattle WA) is by barge that departs only once per week and takes 6 days to arrive to Seattle. The remainder is by truck. Fed-Ex 2-Day is much faster and they treat their packages better, but it is likely to be more expensive. I can usually get a better Fed-Ex rate than eBay can, so if you want to go this route, contact me with your shipping information and I can get you a quote.
