Color Computer Store !!!
Don\'t take a chance on buying a Color Computer that \'might\' work. Buy with confidence from a company that has loved the TRS-80 CoCo since the first silver model hit the Radio Shack shelves with a whopping 4kB of RAM. Don\'t be fooled by sellers that have never been to a RainbowFest/CoCoFest and that charge 3x more for their \'untested\' machine that smells like dead rodents or are covered with scruff marks.

This sale is a model 26-3127 which features 64K RAM (upgraded) and Extended BASIC (upgraded), as well as a full travel keyboard. This is a TRS-80 Color Computer 2 manufactured by Tandy and distributed by Radio Shack. The Color Computer line of computers were popular in the 80s and into the early 90s. The retro scene for Color Computers, often referred to as CoCos, is still alive and well today with supporters meeting annual in Chicago for a CoCoFest conference. Thanks to the CoCo Facebook group and CoCoCrew Podcast, many former users (and new enthusiasts) have formed a vibrant community which has seen a great number of new hardware products and software released. For example, improved sound cards, Sega Genesis joy pad adapters, SD Storage Card Drives, games and much more!* Professionally installed Power On LED light... never leave your CoCo on by mistake

* Comes with 64KB and Extended BASIC.
* Case was taken apart, cleaned and any scruff marks removed.
* Keyboard removed, cleaned and checked
* Motherboard inspected for bad parts and cleaned

* Includes Quick Reference GuidesSpecial Note:
This machine originally had a speech module screwed on to the top of the case. The screw holes were filled in and polished. The LED is installed in the top left screw hole. To improve the case look, we applied several layers of paint. You will notice the bottom of the case having slightly darker color as it was not painted. (Kinda cool slight two tone retro look!) From a few feet out, this machine looks great (much better than 80% of the CoCos on !). Please be sure to view the photos prior to offerding.Advice:
To connect a Color Computer 2 to a display, you have three options:Use a RF to RCA converter adapter. You DO NOT need an external RF modulator if you buy a RCA jack to 75 ohm dongle (a few dollars). Then switch the TV to channel 3 or 4. Use a good quality \'shielded\' RCA cable from the computer to the RCA-75 Ohm dongle.
If you are handy with soldering, you can install a composite video board. Use a search engine to find numerous articles on the topic to build one or purchase a pre-made board.
Install the CoCoVGA board in the socket of the video display chip (MC6847).
