I rescued this piece, amongst others, from an Estate sale. It has been cleaned, tested and works great! I also re-worked the casing of the computer and joystick in order to restore them to their former glory!
The box has seen better days (see pictures). However, it is original!

Color Computer 2 Info:
The CoCo 2, introduced in 1983, is basically a refinement of Radio Shack’s original TRS-80 Color Computer. It utilizes a more efficient power supply, higher integration (lower parts count), and a smaller case. The only significant functional difference between the two is the absence in the CoCo 2 of a regulated +12VDC power supply.
The 26-3127 model is the first 64K Color Computer 2. It contains the Extended BASIC ROM, the enhanced keyboard, and 64 kilobytes of RAM (naturally). Otherwise, it is identical to the 26-3026/26-3027. Note that the RAM is soldered in place in those machines which were factory-equipped with 64K.
