It's a gift of a system I would have never been able to afford to purchase. It's actually a very beautiful computer. The wood and blue colors really make it almost an art piece...The entire documentation set with extras was very nice too.
I have to rig a video cable up for it. The video output is an RG-59 type connector used most commonly as ham & cb radio antenna connectors. Everything turns on but until I get a monitor set up I will leave it off to avoid possible damage. I am guessing this was one that was sold as a kit by the assembly instructions included and what the insides look like.

Gotta make sure they're on your Christmas card list, and I would send them something they can't return to you, just as a thought, like a filled out gift certificate to a REALLY nice restaurant, etc...
That was one HECK of a gift.
Better hope noone on here reports you to the IRS ;)

Someone very kind asked me a few days ago if I wanted it as it needed a good home and they would not take payment They just wanted to pass it to someone who would enjoy it. It arrived today. I am probably too excited over a vintage computer system.
