What an excellent piece of vintage computer history, the IBM 5153 CGA Monitor. Ours was made in 1983. Part of a recent donation of a lot of equipment discovered in an basement, our 5153 is in great working order after some deep cleaning and reconditioning. This monitor pairs up nicely to our IBM 5160 PC/XT!
