[Coco] Status of the CoCo Lounge

Tue Oct 2 17:19:27 EDT 2007

Oh, and I do want to be perfectly clear, and not to give a false impression.
12 of these boxes are original Tandy boxes that only have 1 CoCo 1and 2's.
and 2 printers, so there is really only 17 or so "Assorted" Boxes of cables
boards ,books etc. One box is heavy and is full of rainbow magazines, 1 box
is just full of color basic manuals, One box has 5 floppy drives in it.
There is also a lot of "parts" stock, that needs to be fixed, or such (empty
floppy drive shells, CoCo 1 etc) that were put aside for projects that were
never completed. 1 "apple" box (for Fruits) contains 4 CoCo 2's etc. So, 30
boxes is yes, a lot of "stuff" but it will all fit inside a regular van
easily.
I just didn't want to give the false impression that there is more than
really is there, and all of it is 100% in mint shape (which it is not). Yes
most of it is working and in good shape, and there is stuff I have no Idea
an even what it is or how it works.

Thanks Roger,
I am up in Edmonton ,Alberta, About (I believe) a 16 hour drive north of
Salt Lake City (for those that are wondering) The person that was going to
purchase was about a half hour away from Buffalo (here in Canada) and the
best shipping quote he could find was about $600. I have all the box
dimensions (on Request) and it approximately weighs 200Lbs. It might be
cheaper (and a whole lot more fun) to grab a large van and drive up,
especially now before it starts to snow (in the next few weeks).

Glen,

Where are you in Canada?  Hopefully someone can drive up there and save all
that CoCo stuff from becoming the unspeakable.  I'm extremely far from you,
so it's out of the question for me, but there are some Canadian CoCo users
among us, I'm sure.  Did you post a message in the coco3.com forums?  Maybe
I should put a bulletin on the site so everyone will notice.  You probably
have the most CoCo stock in the world... 30 boxes full, waiting to be saved
or killed.
