This Newbrain AD was purchased used from a local accounting firm in 1989. I purchased the unit along with the 64K expansion and disk controller with Teac 5.25 floppy drive, that I am selling separately.
Unit was used the last time in 1989. Since then stored in the garage until now.
In case you are not aware, this is a piece of vintage computer electronics with 30+ years and as such needs restoration before you turn it on, in particular the famous filter capacitor in the PSUs (tha...t turns into smoke and smell) and eventually other components on the main unit like electrolytic capacitors for example, maybe other chips, etc. Please search with google and will find useful information about main issues when bringing back Newbrain and other vintage micros to life after 30+ years. Check also with other vintage computer collectors and / or restoration engineers for advice. Unit and components are sold as is, UNTESTED. Do not buy if you don’t understand this or have other expectations.
Cosmetically, the unit is in good shape except for the “new line” key. The key is fine, as far as I can tell without testing, but the plastic cap shows a lot of use – pls see the photo. The whole unit also needs a good bath!
