Acorn Archimedes A3000 Vintage Computer for sale, UK PAL, supplied with MOUSE but no software or monitor or box or booklets, and this unit is untested. A heavy beast, built for reliability. Cosmetically, the casing and keyboard all look in reasonably good consition with just a tiny bit of yellowing with 40 years of age, and a few dints on the to[p part of case, but all keys intact and no cracked casings, as is prone with the material used at the era of it's production.
 
THIS UNIT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AND IS THEREFORE BEING LISTED AS 'SOLD FOR PARTS'. 
It might very well work! i have no means to test due to lack of old CRT style TV or Monitor, so buyer accepts 'SOLD AS SEEN, NO RETURNS', hence the lower price compared to other units that appear for sale on social media and auctions sites.
 
The last machine to bear the 'BBC Microcomputer' tag, the A3000 had 1MB of RAM and was powered by Acorn's own ARM2 processor running at 8MHz. The operating system was also Acorn's creation, RISC OS 2 (with the previous version having gone by the name of Arthur in the original Archimedes range). The styling of the A3000 was a departure from earlier Archimedes models, which had all come with separate keyboard and system unit. The new design was closely comparable to the casings used by the popular Amiga 500 and Atari ST computers; the A3000's most natural competitors in the marketplace.Acorn, 1989.
