I'm selling the entire system, including the Tandy monitor & dot matrix printer that were bought at the same time.
I will not part her out.
My Dad bought the system new back in the 80's, because he was a programmer for a large company.
I also still have the factory Tandy boxes she came in.
System:
* Tandy 1000 Personal Computer with Intel 8088 CPU (Model No. 25-1000)
* Tandy CM-2 RGB High Resolution Color Monitor (Cat. No. 26-3212
* Radio Shack TRS-80 DMP-120 dot-matrix printer (Cat. No. 26-1255)
* Tandy 1000 Personal Computer Keyboard
* Tandy Memory Plus Expansion Board (Cat. No. 25-1011)
* 256K Memory Upgrade (Cat. No. 26-6019)
* 128K RAM that's been upgraded to 640K RAM
* Two internal 5.25" double-density floppy disk drives
* My Dad later upgraded the Tandy with a Seagate hard disk, Model# ST-351 A/X
* Assorted cables, other parts that were in the boxes
* No manuals or disks were in the boxes
Software:
* Microsoft MS-DOS, version 3.2 / Tandy version 03.20.22
* This software seems to be built-in, because there's no disks.
* Quicken and some other software seem to be on the hard disk
(This is the information displayed on the monitor during bootup...but I have no idea what I'm reading, so look at the bootup photos yourself to decipher it.)
Original Tandy boxes dimensions:
PC box: 24"x20"x18"
Monitor box: 18"x18"x18"
As you can see in the photos, I recently connected everything and fired her up...and she still boots up & works. My Dad was a programmer back in the day and used the Tandy for that, as well as his hobby of tracking football stats...while I used her for writing term papers when I was in high school & college. After a few years, he bought a new PC and boxed-up & stored the Tandy...and that's how she's been the last 30+ years.
She's been stored in her original Tandy boxes since the late 80's and everything is still clean, looks great, and works...although I couldn't try the printer, since the ribbon is dried out.
My Dad recently passed away, so I've decided to sell the system, because I'll never use her. After I recently reassembled her and verfied that she still worked, I then removed the covers and took a bunch of photos of the Tandy, inside & out, plus a couple videos of her booting up, in preparation of selling her. The reality is that I'll never use her, so I want her to go to a good home or collector or museum who can appreciate her and the personal computer history she represents, instead of her just sitting in her boxes forever.
It's been almost 40 years since I've used the Tandy for school papers, as a teen back in the 80's...so I don't remember much about her details or how to use her. She boots up fine, as you can see in the photos & videos. I can try to answer questions you may have, but I simply don't know or remember much about her any longer.
I have more photos & two bootup videos that I can email or link you to, upon request, since CL only allows posting 24 photos.
The ad will be removed when the Tandy sells. I have the system listed in other places, so prior sale may occur.
