For Sale: Early tested, working, and cleaned Color Computer 1 in excellent working condition. Radio Shack Cat. No. 26-3003
Previous owner attached two RCA cables to circuitry as shown, not positive what this mod is but doesn't cause any issues with the computer.
Serial number 002450. Badge says it has 64K and although have not verfied that have no reason to think it's not accurate. When I first got this many of the keys would not work so I took the chicklet keyboard out and cleaned the contacts with Iso alcohol, at which point all the keys worked fine. In subsequent testing found that sometimes the "2" key will not function until you play around with it for a while, at which point it starts working fine. Am 99.99% sure if it is re-cleaned this issue will be resolved but don't feel like taking it apart again. It's pretty simple to do though.
Tested with software cartridges, joystics, tape recorder, and FD 501 disk drive- working perfectly on all. Boots to Extended Color Basic 1.0. Every time, no issues. Some minor cosmetic wear, not bad, see photos.
