Hi all,

seen on www.Gumtree.com.au OSBORNE 1 VINTAGE COMPUTER PORTABLE for Aus$250.00

location Mate Street, North Albury NSW 2640

NOT one of mine. Just as well I am downsizing, else I would buy it, as its a great Vintage machine.





Vintage Osborne 1 portable computer.
With two 5.25 inch floppy drives.
Switches on and displays message: "Insert 5.25 inch floppy and press return"
Haven't tested the drives due lack of media.
Don't have a disc for it.
Runs well on 115 volts, though there was a 230 volt sticker on it, since removed.
Do not run on 240.
I have two of these, when I find the other one.
Missing at moment the keyboard cable (20 way).
Will make one up or find the old one soon.

That seller has also been trying to sell it on eBay for quite a while (item #111855702292). I'm in the market for one in the right condition for the right price, but that one sounds a bit unconvincing to me.

Thanks for the heads-up though, keep them coming!
