[sold] Vintage Dolch computer

kbdfr · 05 Jul 2021, 11:31

Rather inadvertently got this old 386 Dolch computer in its original bag, apparently in somewhat functioning technical order (while the screen lights up, it does not display anything), keyboard has dark blue Cherry MX switches with pad-printed keycaps (German layout).

Anybody interested in bringing it to new life?
Please be aware that the whole thing weighs 12+kg.

That is absurdly cool. I have no idea what to price something like that at, though.

Still available for 110€ (includes PayPal fees) + shipping.
Compare with this recent eBay sale of the virtually same model: https://www.ebay.com/itm/182379453361
Not selling the keyboard alone.

Ahh, those keycaps would be so nice for my Unitek K151-L. Would be a shame to discard the rest of the machine though. :/

Since the computer has a dedicated video card, have you tried attaching an external monitor?

Just interested how much would it cost to ship it to the US?

Shipping to the US with DSL would have been 76€,
but the computer is now sold.
