Not quite. I got my first CoCo in the summer of 1981, but it was a 4K
machine. I upgraded it to 16K ECB myself, but had a local Radio Shack
take it to 64K in 1984. I think I read somewhere online somebody's
opinion that there was no 64K badge for the original CoCo. Well, they
put quite a convincing one on mine when they upgraded it. It's serial
is 0006916.
The machine still works, but its case is fairly rough and I replaced the
chicklet keyboard with one from a CoCo 3 when I put a Puppo XT adapter
on the latter and packed it in a mini-tower case back when that was the
thing to do. I recently (well, maybe 10 years ago) found a 4K machine
(0039529) at a computer surplus store and snatched it up. It worked at
the time, and should still now, except the power switch has since
physically failed.
