{"product_id":"ti-99-4a-complete-in-box","title":"Texas Instruments TI-99\/4A Home Computer — Complete in Original Box, Untested (As-Is)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe TI-99\/4A was Texas Instruments' entry in the early-80s home computer wars — a 16-bit machine at a time most competitors were 8-bit, famous for the brutal price war with Commodore that eventually pushed it under $100 at retail. This one is a genuinely nice find for a collector: complete in its original box, with the molded foam packing insert, the full manual set, reference cards, its power adapter, and more, all still together decades later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe want to be completely upfront: this unit has not been tested in any way — not powered on, not verified to boot, nothing beyond what you can see in the photos. We're not making any claim about whether it works. It's sold as-is, priced accordingly, and the appeal here is the same as any as-is find: a complete, cosmetically clean example that's exactly what it looks like in the pictures, nothing more asserted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTI-99\/4A console (Model No. PHC-004A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal retail box (\"Texas Instruments Home Computer 99\/4A\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal molded foam packing insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power adapter\/transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn accessory switch box (appears to be a TV\/RF selector switch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric dust cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall bag of loose hardware\/parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual set: TI-99\/4A Computer reference guide, \"Beginner's BASIC\" manual, TI-99\/4A BASIC Reference Card, two addendum sheets (Model Numbers \u0026amp; Protection Indicators; User's Reference Guide addendum), and an unused Market Research Department mail-in postcard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis unit has NOT been tested — not powered on, not verified to boot or function in any way. Sold entirely as-is; functionality is unknown. Please buy this as a cosmetically-inspected, complete-in-box unit, not a working computer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on photos, the console looks cosmetically clean: no cracks, no significant staining beyond normal factory coloring, and the keys appear intact. This is a visual assessment only — no physical or electronic inspection beyond what's photographed was performed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe original box shows light handling wear consistent with its age, but is intact and complete with no major tears visible in photos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImportant: the retail box's own back-panel photography shows the broader TI-99\/4A accessory family (external monitor, thermal printer, speech synthesizer, wired remote controllers, telephone modem, etc.) — none of that is included with this listing. Only the items listed above are part of this sale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo cassette recorder, cartridges, or software are included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete-in-box TI-99\/4A units with the full manual set and packaging this intact don't turn up often.
