Today’s lucky find is a 1983 IBM PC XT 5160, complete with matching display, keyboard, documentation, and system disks!

Someone brought this 1960s Kenwood A701A stand mixer into the repair café that I volunteer at over the weekend - it needs a new mains cable, a motor driver rebuild, and new motor brushes. I couldn’t resist offering to take it home and fix it for them 😂 It would have went to the tip otherwise.
