You should sell as-is, don't open or unpack, or the value will plummet to
$15.

Plug in and try it out, probably won't hurt anything to do that.  Just like
any 8-bit home toy computer of the era.  Work through the schematic and
locate where the voltages are off.

Probably what's wrong is that TI should have stayed with the Silver/chrome
case.  The tan machines are less appealing.
