Product Overview

Step back into the golden era of 1990s multimedia computing with this rare, time-capsule Vintage 1993 AST Advantage! Adventure 486sx/33 (Model 273) Desktop PC. Discovered as an authentic attic find, this historical unit is housed inside its original manufacturer retail box and comes paired with a pristine, brand-new matching AST keyboard still sealed in its factory plastic wrap. Featuring a classic built-in 3.5" floppy drive and a front-loading legacy CD-ROM tray, this is the ultimate base platform for a high-end MS-DOS/Windows 3.1 retro gaming restoration project.

Item Condition: Untested / Restoration ProjectThis bundle is being sold strictly As-Is / Untested, despite it's rather new appearance

• Functional State: Due to sitting in long-term climate storage, the computer has not been powered on or tested to prevent damage to legacy internal capacitors. It appears to be unused, or in very lightly used condition, but I am far from an expert on this type of thing. Again, AS IS SALE!

• Cosmetics: As shown,the front plastic bezel shows heavy amber yellowing/discoloration from thermal aging over the decades, a common reaction in early 90s fire-retardant plastics. The metal case shell is remarkably straight and clean.

• Accessories: Includes the original AST factory retail box (shows storage wear/scuffs) and a brand new, unused original AST keyboard in its factory packaging. No mouse, power cables, or manuals are included.

Key Technical Specifications

• Processor Architecture: Intel i486 SX running at 33MHz.

• Storage Inputs: Integrated 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk drive and standard multimedia CD-ROM drive (I did not confirm that this was in it but hopefully it is?)
