Mmmh, an 110 VAC Transformer included. Those days with the obligatory VHF switch box.

This is really nice!

Well, I was hesitating a long time to get one. In the end I could not resist.
Here you see, what you get, if you order a "Dragon by TANO".

It was a very positive shopping experience. Terry Reiter, the vendor, replied immediately to all my emails and he was very quick with shipping. I think, I haven't even been waiting for two weeks for the machine to arrive. I don't want to give any numbers, but Terry has already sold the biggest part of his store. There is absolutely no need to panic, he still has a lot of machines, but I really wouldn't wait forever, either!
The price is 49 US$, shipping is much more, depending on destination. Custom declaration is carefully done and the machine can be delivered directly, without detour to the customs' office. Great!
Next thing
I need a 230VAC to 110VAC converter. Let's order one....
See you.

Or use a normal Dragon PSU!

Hehe! I told you it was an amazing experience!

[Rolo]

Or use a normal Dragon PSU!

Ahhh, yes, sure. Clever, it's the same brick, like that of my D32.
Thanks.

I'm happy you've got one, Rolo, it's an exciting experience and most importantly, another Dragon found a warm home!
Now, just think about the possibilities -- a network! (cough)

The only annoying thing with the Tano Dragon is that the on/off switch was relocated over to the power supply to allow room for a channel selector , so using a standard Dragon power supply means you turn it on or off by plugging or unplugging the power cord...

I wonder how many of us here at the forum own a NOS Tano Dragon?

Today I finally hooked up my NTSC-TANO-64 to a NTSC-capable tv-set.
Ahhh, Ohhh, color explosion ! Suddenly the name Color Computer of the "original" machine starts making sense. No more b&w-games like on my PAL-D32. The converted Tandy roms now show up nice and colorful. That really makes a lot of a difference. Buying an additional TANO-64 payed off. Glad I did that. I'm gonna swap main machine and backup.
