Item History & Price

I am selling this Grundy Newbrain disc controller with 5.25 floppy drive and PSU in metal case. I don’t have the top of the metal case. Also selling other Newbrain parts 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 (that turns into s...moke and smell) and eventually other components on the expansion unit and drive 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. All sold as is, UNTESTED. Do not buy if you don’t understand this or have other expectations.
Cosmetically, the unit is in good shape, but is not complete as the top of the metal case is missing. Also needs a good bath!
The sale includes:1 x Newbrain Disc Controller SN#712077/GGS1 x Metal chassis with Power supply SN#4190051 x Teac FD-55A-00-U SN#1006049
