9/3/06 Auctions of Note

Auctions of Note for September 3rd, 2006:

Just a few bits and pieces from the last few days (see Brian's post, below, for some more):


Radio Shack TRS-80 File Pak with 8 cassettes, some rare

Okay, odd title and I wouldn't stick these in your CCR, but... First the File-Pak is neat and doesn't come up too often. This is the big, heavy monster Radio Shack used to sell for storing your pak collection. Kind of a fun bonus there. Also, two Reactoid paks and the Tennis pak. Both are fairly rare and fun. Shipping may seem steep, but that File-Pak is pretty hefty.

TSR Radio Shack Color Computer cc Spiderside w/ Booklet

This lot has the pretty rare Spiderside pak with the slightly rarer manual. Good game, too.

RAINBOW MAGAZINE May 1993 Last ISSUE

Is there a fight on the horizon? heh! Glen has put up his run of the "newspaper" Rainbows, the last of the famous mag's run. When last seen, these went for some serious bucks. But with such a short auction run, will these fetch as much, or is an adjustment in the Price Guide coming. Let's watch... :)

CoCo 2 Color Computer Technical Reference Manual

This is just a photocopy, but it's a photocopy of a rare techref. Including the 26-3127B CoCo 2. Good CoCo. :)

DOUBLEBACK TRS 80 GAME USED ONLY

Rare. Very. Doubleback is a pretty neat pak, as well. I get asked for this pak, or leads on it, more than anything else. Well, there ya go... :)

Disk Drive Watch:

Tandy color computer disk drive FD 501

A mislisted FD-501. Good drive for retro disk spinning. 35-track Tandons, though, so not as useful for modern CoCoing. Difficult to tell if it's in collectible condition or not, but the controller and face plates look good.

That's about it at the moment. Tune in and stay tuned...

Angel's Luck,
Capt
