Vintage 1976 Commodore MOS KIM-1 Single Board Computer 6502 SBC w/ 4 Manuals :
$1400.00

For sale is one of the most foundational milestones in microcomputing history: an original Commodore MOS KIM-1 Single Board Computer (Revision F). Originally engineered in 1976 to introduce developers to the revolutionary MOS 6502 processor, the KIM-1 is the direct genetic ancestor to the personal computer revolution.
This unit is completely intact, un-modified, and features the original Commodore brand emblem stamped on the upper-right corner of the circuit matrix.
What’s Included:
1. Commodore KIM-1 Single Board Computer (Rev F): Complete onboard 24-key control pad, 6-digit LED display windows, 6502 processing core, and edge-finger connectors.
2. MOS Microcomputers Programming Manual: Original blue-and-white factory guidebook.
3. MOS Microcomputers Hardware Manual: Original technical engineering guide.
4. MOS Microcomputers KIM-1 User Manual: The core operating reference manual.
5. \"The First Book of KIM\" Textbook: Written by Jim Butterfield, Stan Ockers, and Eric Rehnke (Published by Hayden)—highly sought after by vintage programmers.
Condition & Technical Notes:
• Visual Condition: Exceptional cosmetic condition. The board is incredibly clean with zero trace decay or component burn. The keycaps retain crisp text and responsive spring pressure. The four manuals are in fantastic shape, showing clean spines, tight bindings, and crisp pages with minimal edge wear.
• Functional Condition: Untested. Due to lacking a vintage multi-rail linear power supply interface to safely inject voltage into the legacy edge connectors, this system has not been powered on. It is sold strictly AS-IS for museum display, parts, or expert restoration.
📦 Shipping & Packaging:
• Museum-Grade Transit: The KIM-1 board will be swaddled in premium anti-static material to safeguard the vintage ROM/RAM chips. The manuals will be packed flat with sturdy cardboard backing to eliminate folding or corner crimping. The entire collection will be nestled safely inside a heavy-duty protective box.
• Carrier: Shipped safely via UPS with full tracking.
