Zenith Z-60 Luggable

[rosietheriviter]

I have an old Zeinth Z-60 (I am pretty sure that is what it is) luggable. It has a dual disk drive, orange screen. All parts are present and accounted for and here is the best part...IT WORKS! It was tossed out from the University of Minnesota Computer Lab. I was lucky enough to rescue it. It also has...a modem! :shock: Someone probably thought they had the cats meow ages ago when they got it! It weighs 42 pounds and quite honestly, the novelty has worn off for me. I know it is a rare piece, even more so that it works. It would be best if someone would be able to pick it up when purchasing. If you are interested, e-mail me a fair offer. I am open to all. If you want photos, let me know, I will be happy to send you some.

Rosie,

I sold one of those a while back. The shipping from MI to FL ran $50.00, so take that into consideration in your pricing. Fourty + pounds is a lot to ship, and the over-size carton adds something too. Good luck selling it tho, they really are nice machines. I found myself buying another (smaller, lighter) Zenith on eBay just last week. Found that I just can't do without a Zenith in my collection. I really like the MFM-xxx Monitor program in ROM, I used to play with it all the time.
What helped sell mine was to place an ad in the Heath/Zenith forum on CompuServe, with a link to this site. My customer found me by that route. Oh, BTW, I think what you have is probably a Z-160 or 161 (with the disk drives that pop-up out of the top, right?).

Wow, Dave, I was just browsing around your website last night. Impressive!

The Zenith luggable I used to have was a Z-160, (150-Series, according to the manual). Zenith also made another, later model of luggable which was slightly smaller & lighter. It was called the Z-148, IIRC. I used to have one of them too, but it is now in the collection of an old friend of mine. It only had two 8-bit expansion slots inside, mounted paralell to the mainboard. Just enough to have one for a memory board & another for a HDD controller. I've never heard of a Zenith Z-60 before, tho. (A quick google search on "Zenith Z-60" failed to turn up anything either).
