Compaq Portable 486c/66

One of the last computers on my wishlist, the Compaq Portable 486c from around 1992. This is the 486DX2 66mhz colour machine. It’s in overal decent and working condition, although the harddrive has been replaced.
The best trick it has is that the upper part of the machine can tilt from the base.
You can also connect the internal PC speaker to the soundcard and use it for sound output, it even has a volume control knob on the front next to the screen.

So my Compaq Portable 486c had a really washed out and “striped” (for lack of a better word) screen. A forum on vintage IBM compatibles said the screen was gone and had to be replaced. An Apple Mac forum post on a powerbook laptopcomputer said the screen needed a recap (my experience with macs is that recaps are always needed and usualy the answer). So i tried it, the screen looks almost perfect now.
