Made in Czechoslovakia: 1988

1988 Consul 2223 8 222 407777













Notice that because this Consul was intended for the German market, it does not have the peculiar numerals found on Consuls in English-speaking countries.

I neglected to mention the appearance in my typecast. I like the Uncial logotype; cute and unexpected, coming from Czechoslovakia. The body style is simple, modern, and elegant. The tan/beige color is rather similar to the color used on so many computers in the 1980s; the texture too. I like it.




My own research seems to suggest that Consuls might indeed have been produced between 1988 and 1992; 1988 might just have marked the end of model 2223/2224. More on that when I finish my Consul posts.
