Hi, my dad needs to downsize and he wants to find a home for his Osborne 1.  It hasn't been turned on in 10 years, however he is the original owner for everything and takes meticulous care of his stuff, so this is probably the best condition for any untested machine you can find.  Email me directly if interested.

I asked him to list everything he had:

Osborne OCC 1, Serial # 117400
original box

modem
expanded display
handle fan
T-switch (for 2 printers on 1 computer)
Disk storage box
Disk to set drive rotational speed
Blank discs
backup discs
parallel cables with gold connectors

zenith ZVM green screen monitor
original box
tilt-n-turn

Okidata 92 Dot-matrix printer
original box
cover
dot addressable
variable width tracker adapter with printing labels, 1, 2 and 3 across
partial box - pin feed perf paper
partial box - pin feed micro(?) paper
M Basic program to change print quality to near-letter

Software - original w/manuals
nordstar
db2
Nevada cobol

(This is copied from a handwritten list and his writing is terrible, so if something seems a little off it might just be me misreading.)

Email me directly with questions. Thanks!

Matt
