TRS-80
MODEL I COMPUTER ITEMS FOR SALE:
(Model
I - 26-1001, -1004, -1006)
(1977-1981)
The one that started it all and part
of the "holy trinity" of original home and small business computers
released in 1977 - the other two being the Apple ][ and the Commodore Pet
2001. In working condition the Model I
is still a fascinating computer to use and a real time warp to a time when
crashes and reboots were just a normal part of computing. NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED the TRS-80 Model I
is infamous for doing nothing perfectly but everything ok. Best appreciated by hobbyists, electronics
enthusiasts, historians, purists, TRS-80 Model Is can be made into reliable
machines if maintenance is not skimped.
On the plus side the Model I is easily the cheapest of the original 1977
trinity of computers, the Apple and C= now fetching thousands of dollars from
collectors, a Model I system can be often set up for half that amount.
All my Model I systems are checked
over, tested extensively and repaired as necessary. They come with a 90 day warranty, just like
Tandy used to offer, and friendly after-sales assistance should something go
wrong after the 90 days is up.
"Due to the difficulty in sourcing 240V Model I items, most that I
sell this year will be US 120V items which require step-down transformers. Those cheap ones on eBay work fine. If you are after 240V Model I equipment
drop me a line, you may be in luck - you never know what I may have on
hand." - Ian.

TRS-80 Model I Level I (Cat. No. 26-1001)
Level I systems are very hard to come by - their curious
limited Basic language didn't lend itself to serious programming so most were
upgraded to Level II. These days the
Level I systems are rare collectors items, I don't see them very often but when
I do I refurbish them and sell them for $199 which includes 90 day warranty (just like Tandy used to
offer).
