Die KI sagt dazu:
The Robotron EC 1835 is a rare personal computer developed in the German Democratic Republic (GDR/DDR) starting in 1988 by VEB Robotron. It was intended as a successor to the EC 1834, featuring an 8 MHz U80601 processor (a clone of the Intel 80286), up to 8 MB RAM, and compatibility with adapted MS-DOS 3.30 software. Only about 20 prototypes were built in 1990 before development halted due to German reunification. Post-1990, around 8,055 units were assembled using imported Western components (branded as EC 1835/286, /386SX, or /386) and sold primarily to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union under names like Soemtron.Due to its limited production and historical context as one of the last GDR computers, the EC 1835 has significant collector interest but is extremely scarce on the market. There are no current listings or recent auction records for a complete EC 1835 system on major platforms like eBay. Original prototypes are essentially museum pieces (e.g., one is held by the Industriemuseum Chemnitz) and would likely be priceless or fetch high prices if ever sold, potentially in the thousands of euros given their rarity.For the more common assembled post-1990 variants, values are hard to pinpoint without sales data, but comparable GDR-era Robotron computers provide context:A working Robotron PC 1715 (an earlier, more widely produced model) recently listed for €349.99.
Accessories for similar models, like a Robotron EC 1834 keyboard, sell for around €75.
Based on this, a functional EC 1835 in good condition might be worth €500–€1,500 to collectors, depending on completeness, provenance, and demand. However, this is an estimate—actual values could vary widely, and units often appear in niche collector forums or flea markets at bargain prices (e.g., one anecdotal report from years ago mentioned acquiring an EC 1835 for about €10 at a flea market). If you're looking to buy or sell, check specialized vintage computing sites, museums, or German collector communities for leads. |
