Depends. It's basically a 68k system; the parts which rank high on the 
used-gear market are (of course) the floppy drive. The display unit is 
also rather rare (very special VFD plus a mask programmed NEC 
controller), and for the dedicated hacker the OTTO soundchip might offer 
some fun.

What's wrong with the machine?
