​The lot includes:
• ​TI-99/4A Console: In excellent cosmetic condition, with a functioning LED indicator (as per photos).
• ​Original Box: European/French version labeled "L'Ordinateur Familial", a rare detail that increases its historical value.

​The item is sold as a collectible piece. Given the age of the electronics (over 40 years), long-term warranty cannot be provided, but the unit powers on correctly.
