Panasonic Senior Partner (Inventory)

It's come to my attention that I hadn't posted this anywhere yet. Time to fix that!

This is a new-ish addition to the WCC Inventory, a (probably) working 1983 Panasonic Senior Partner, a portable PC clone. It's got an Intel 8088 running at 4.7 Megahertz, a green monochrome screen, and a built-in NEC thermal printer.

It acts like it wants to boot up, but the disk drives make an awful lot of noise- I'd suspect they're gunked up, dirty, and the drive belts may be cooked. The downside is that the whole thing has to be disassembled to get to them, so this one's on the back burner until I've got more time to attack it.
Once it's working, it should make a nice addition to the fleet!

A quick search turned up THIS article on this oddball machine. Man, I wish the prices listed back in 2012 were the same prices we have today! $100 for a portable is a good deal these days.
