[Coco] RE: [Color Computer] Looking for a Coco I 64k?

[Glen VanDenBiggelaar]

Yes, you are right, the S/N don't revel anything (although it is kind of 
cool that you have such low S/N). I do have my box for my 4 K 3001, and 
interstingly enough it doesn't have the S/N printed on the side (can't get 
at the back, it is stacked with all my other 12 or so CoCo boxes) just the 
Usual Can be hooked up to any color tv. What is really neat, is that the box 
is abit thicker and under the CoCo, it has a nice little Quick Printer 2 
nicely tucked in there along with the glued spunge foam, for transport. The 
bad news was the quick printer 2 was so badly abused and it looks like it is 
missing pieces, I never did try to get it running, and the paper roll turned 
silver after all these years (static printer?)
