The real challenge with the model III and IV is they're bulky as heck. I am absolutely hoping to have one or both in my collection, but they take up a lot of space. And Bob, I absolutely love the WLTC but it's so niche and I've put a lot of money into other things I'm wrestling with justifying investing in another magnificent museum piece. :) On Tue, Jun 25, 2024 at 4:02 PM Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Regarding the TRS 80 Model 4 (and III) ... I also noticed the lack of a market for the TRS 80 Model III and 4 at the Kennett Classic surplus sale. They used to be a lot more popular in vintage computing circles. Generally-speaking there is less of a market for monochrome displays as much. This is also true when you compare the IBM PC 5151 vs 5153 display.

I’ll echo everyone else’s sentiments - it was good to see the few folks I knew there, but dang was it hot! We should rename it “Swap Melt”. In any case, I just finished updating my webpages with the sold items marked off, but there’s still plenty left! (theshusters.com/bobvintage.html) - *Please* feel free to make offers - I promise I won't be insulted.
Nobody wants this TRS-80 Model 4? I was really hoping to not bring it home, but alas… Also the Wang WLTC is still available. Lots of people thought it was cool, but none interested enough to take it home!
