Tandy CoCo 1 – Modified with 64K and a Macrotron keyboard
My collecting is quite polarizing. I must have the original computer (or peripheral) in as released condition but I do make exceptions when they show a progression of modifications out of necessity. Here we have a Tandy Color Computer 1 with a premium aftermarket keyboard made by Macrotron and 64k. The interesting part is that it looks like a professional upgrade. The “64K Color Computer” badge is very professional and the “64K” is in a silver metallic paint that is hard to capture with the lighting.
