{"product_id":"trs-80-model-iii","title":"Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III Microcomputer — Powers On, Screen Active (As-Is)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe TRS-80 Model III followed the original Model I as Radio Shack's next-generation business\/hobbyist all-in-one, with the CRT, keyboard, and dual floppy drives all built into one console. This one is configured with 48K RAM, per its own internal indicator badge, and both floppy drive bays are present with their dust-flap covers intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's exactly what we know: it powers on, and the CRT is genuinely active — not dead or blank. What comes up on screen is a repeating pattern of dashes filling the display, rather than the familiar BASIC-ready prompt or startup banner. We don't have a known-good floppy disk on hand to test disk-based booting, so we can't tell you whether that screen is normal pre-boot behavior or a sign of a real fault — we simply don't know, and we're not going to guess for you. Sold as-is, priced to reflect that the one thing we can confirm is that it powers on and the display works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRS-80 Model III console (built-in monitor, dual floppy drives, 48K RAM per internal indicator badge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptive AC power cord (non-removable, built into the unit — no external adapter to lose)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowers on and the CRT displays an active video signal. On screen is a repeating pattern of dashes rather than a BASIC-ready prompt — we don't know if that's normal pre-boot behavior or a fault. No floppy disk was available to test disk-based booting further. Sold as-is; buyers comfortable troubleshooting Model III hardware (or who have known-good boot media on hand) are best suited for this one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe foam dust-flap covers on both floppy drive bays show minor fraying at the edges — cosmetic, doesn't appear to affect the drive mechanisms themselves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lower-left front case edge has noticeable white blotchy wear down to a lighter material underneath — clearly visible in photos, cosmetic only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA few light scuffs on the top case, and some keys show minor shine consistent with use — otherwise the keyboard looks complete and correctly labeled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo cassette recorder, floppy disks, manuals, or software are included — console only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA genuinely promising sign here — it powers on and the display works, which is more than we can say for some of our as-is listings — but sold honestly as untested beyond that, since we couldn't get a floppy in hand to verify further.
