Compaq portable questions (not laptop)

I have recently obtained a machine that when carried resembles a sewing
machine in a carry case, marked Compaq Portable. It has a built in CRT
and is evidentally an 8088 or 8086 machine judging by the 8 bit slots.

Anyone have any info on it, and is there any collectability to these?
I'm in the process of cleaning and repairing it but I will inevitably
NOT keep it for myself due to space limits and am putting out feelers on
the list first for possible buyers/traders. I don't expect a lot out of
it, mostly what I have in it ($25) unless I have to put a lot of parts
or work into it, which I doubt since it appears to be semi-working at
the moment.

I'll probably put it on ePay around the 20th once I get it functional
and get no apparent responses.

Any info or prospects appreciated.
