[Coco] Got one off ebay, should I keep the case sealed?

[Jay Coleman]

Hi all,

I decided to take a flyer on a CoCo 2 as-is on ebay.  I got it in today, and it powers up into Color Basic 1.2, 16k.  For just a second, back on the living room floor with box and bag and styrofoam scattered, this beige and black box in front, and a green glow on the TV.

At any rate.  I'm considering upgrading it to 64k and Extended Basic.  It isn't a gotta have, though.

The original warranty seal is intact, and the screws don't have a mark.  Is there much reason to keep it unopened?  I'm not thinking monetary value, more the sentiment, I guess.  It isn't something I look for, but I appreciate that others might.  So I thought I'd ask around.  It's a little yellow and has some minor scratches, but otherwise in pretty good shape.  If it would be a loss to break the seal, then I'm inclined to keep it as it is.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jay
