Curtis Mathes Computers
This is a very rare Curtis Mathes branded computer. It was manufactured by Arima back in the day when America was the computer leader; and was sold at American Microtech in Dallas under the licensed branding of Curtis Mathes.
This computer has state of the art space age components with Texas space age design. A really awesome piece of Texas history and know-how. The best part is it was all made in Texas by folks who took great pride in their workmanship and skill.
It is a 386SX/20 with 2M ram. It works fully. I'd have to say that very few of these still exist. The design and workmanship in the computer is remarkable.
The wonderful designers at Curtis Mathes produced some of the most remarkable electronics in the golden age of vintage electronics.

The three photos below are of a very sweet Curtis Mathes stereo console. I remember working on this model; she was one of the last Spanish designs I remember working on in the 1980's. She was one of the last eight track models to come down the line in a nice Spanish style all wood cabinet; there is a touch of early American in this design which was fun to work into the Spanish European design. The clothe speaker covers are missing on this one. But that does not take away from her beauty.

The three photos below are of one of the Curtis Mathes television consoles that I did the console design work on in the mid-1980s'. She went into production in the Fall of 1986 she is Model number # AZ668RL and was 180/ Watts, 120/Volts, and 60/Hertz. I was going for a modern contemporary look for younger buyers. It was right after my model hit the Curtis Mathes showroom floors that Zenith came out with a clone of my console design.
