Closed Tandy Color Computer 3 and Accessories

[jmneedham]

Hello:

I am looking for a Tandy Color Computer 3 with the following:

multi-pak expansion
RS232 Cartridge -- no longer needed.
Floppy Controller cartridge -- no longer needed.

Still looking or either a working or non-working COCO 3 main unit as well. Really need a good case and power supply.

also applicable software where possible.

I am in Olathe, Kansas 66062 for shipping quote. I will be paying by US Postal Money Order or I am willing to trade my A1200 (see other posting in Selling on this forum).

Please let me know if you have one. Will pick up if local to Kansas City Metro area and pay cash in that case.

Hope someone can help me find one.

UPDATE

I have sold my A1200 quite a while back, and I have a lot of what I am asking for in this post. However, I am still seeking a Color Computer 3 main unit --working or not... I mainly need a case and power supply

Where were you 5 years ago when I had the cocolounge.com online store? sadly, I should have kept at least 1 coco 3 set-up. Word of advice. If you get the multi-pak, make sure you get the pal upgrade from Cloud9, so it will work with the Coco 3.
Make sure to get the CM-5 monitor, it makes a big difference. Multi-vue is a pain to set up and get running as the instruction manual has misprints and just plain wrong information. It took a week to get it to run, but once it is, you have a cool desktop for the Coco.
Good luck

P.S I DO have 1 or 2 Cassette cables kicking around free, just the cost of postage. Have to look though

@quarkx: thanks for the info, I do know about the multi-pak compatibility issue and indeed I would make sure it was setup for COCO 3 when I find one or I will maybe have Mark fix it if I get one that is not compatible.

My main thing right now is either to get the 3 up and running or sell the good board and keyboard (maybe here) I haven't quite decided. Plus, there is the whole issue of what the board itself in perfect working order and the keyboard and all my bits are actually worth

Thanks for the posting.

I have a floppy controller cart I can part with

@Dragos: I appreciate the response, however, I have two of these now and don't really need another one for the time being. I will keep it mind if someone asks me about one though. I am still in the air about whether I am actually going to do anything with my COCO's or sell them at this point.

If you can't find any response here, e-mail Mark. He probably has everything you want. I know in the past he always did custom setups
