[Coco] TRS-80 Color Video Receiver

[Bill Pierce]

Mark, I actually had that TV for my Coco. It sold brand new for $499 and they were phasing it out for a new model. I saw one hooked up to a Coco in the store and commented to the salesman that I would love to have that for a monitor. He said "make me an offer". I had $10 in my pocket so I said "all I got is $10", and he said "I'll tell you what, you put that $10 down, and I'll let you have it for $99". I took me 3 paychecks to pay the rest of it off, but I bought it. It was mine and my wife's 1st color TV (all we had was a 13 B&W portable), and I hooked it to a Coco LMAO. I shared though... :-)

I think it would be pretty cool to recreate the system shown in this original 
Color Computer ad:

This is probably a long shot, but do any of you know of a TRS-80 Color Video 
Receiver out in the wild, looking for a new home?
