Closed Olivetti PC1 Prodest.

[Itarzanujane]

Hello everyone.

I am looking for an Olivetti PC1 Prodest (Twin floppy) in working condition.

Thank you.

Hi Itarzanujane,
are you still looking for the PC1? I've one in storage with dual FDD that I'm willing to sell/swap - if you're still interested I can take it from storage and check its state.

Let me know.

Kind regards,
Gabriele

Yes please. And some photos will help.

thank you!

Retrieved the PC1 back from storage and took some pics:

As you can see, it's in pretty nice conditions - some discoloration in the left part, just over the PSU, and the keycaps have seen some serious wear, but otherwise nice and somewhat complete.

Still had no time to test it, I'll report back as soon as I'm able to give it a try.

Nice.

Can you please tell me a price in case that is in working order; Plus shipping, cause I find one more outside Amibay.

Thank you.

Finally found time to test it, the PC1 is working just fine.
Tested the keyboard, both drives, and ran some of the included software without any issue.
Added some new pictures at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JUMdzbv7Ee0ri_ivPmSXDKuWpfupBhOo showing the PC1 running.

The monitor, otoh, needs some care: is turns on (power led on, glow on the tube neck) but shows no picture; I can try to fix it, but it will take some time.

I'd take 180e for the whole lot as-is (PC1, manuals, software, and the non-working monitor). Shipping to Athens is going to be around 35e, more or less, via Poste Italiane.

Please let me know if you're still interested, and if you need any more test on the PC1.

Really sorry for the late response, but I found one locally in same condition.

Thank you.
