I stopped by my local computer recycler today to pickup a Commodore disk drive, and I noticed they have a Franklin ACE 1000 sitting on the vintage shelf. I believe they wanted either $12.95 or $26.95 (I was looking at multiple items and now my memory fails me). No mention if it was working or not, but it looked in OK shape... Typical scuffs attributed with it ending up at a recycler, but it wasn't missing any keys and there were no dents on the case.
The thing is huge! It's also quite heavy. I tried opening the case but, although I got movement from the hinges, I couldn't figure out how to pop it open. The expansion slots were empty, though (I could see them through the rear expansion openings).
I chose not to pick it up because I've gone a bit overboard with vintage purchases the past month, and I value my marriage...
Are these of much interest to anyone?
