Kurisufarian Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Holy crap this place is awesome! I sold a bunch of this stuff to some of the good people who enjoy some time here :-) I am selling my house and have unpacked the Atari stuff which has been in boxes since the early 80's. My son is grown and I am minimizing, and I really didn't expect this. These are actual Atari's my little brother and I grew up on! Make an offer for what's left! C'mon! who wants the rest of the lot... - Atari 800 w/power supply, basic cart, 48k - Atari 400 w/power supply, basic cart - 810 Disc Drive w/power supply - I have pretty much everything but the computer boxes, even have the Atari 800 dust cover. - original controllers, track balls, paddles, early flight style joysticks, and a rapid fire controller thingy - Books (I also remember sitting for hours with my brother and typing in games and programs I really don't want to move with it! The $ goes right in my son's college account :-) Thanks everyone! This place is great, makes me want to get back into all the Atari stuff.... ok maybe not, but I'll probably go and buy a couple of Atari t-shirts or something now. SOLD so far: Basic Fun book Compute's 3rd Book of Atari All the Atari game cartridges All the original games and software on disks (omg that one was a steal!) :-) BTW- My son actually left for college on Feb 7th :-) !!!!!

Mirage Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) See this book right here, Basic Fun? When I first discovered computers, I bought that book at one of those school book sales. It was my very first introduction to programming, and really using computers, ever. I devoured that book. Simple programs, but amazingly memorable for me. I have a PDF of it, but I'd love to have a copy of the actual book. If there's any way we can make that happen, please let me know. (Also, Compute!'s Third Book of Atari I would like to have, to maybe make it a little more worthwhile). Thanks.

Kurisufarian Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think I want you to have the book... can you pm me? Lol, I think we got the book from a sale at our local library. My little brother and I programmed everything from that book when we got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Venture" for Atari 2600, 1981 "Asylum" for the C64, 1981 "Congo Bongo" for the 400/800, 1983 Edited January 11, 2012 by Kurisufarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Is the 810 the Tandon (small flip door in the middle) or MPI (large garage-door) version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labrat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 "Congo Bongo" cartridge for SEGA, 1983 This one should be for the 400/800 as well; its just made by SEGA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillC Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Is the 810 the Tandon (small flip door in the middle) or MPI (large garage-door) version? I believe you have that backwards, the Tandon mechanism having the garage-door type mechanism while the MPI has the latch across the center of the disk slot.

Kurisufarian Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Is the 810 the Tandon (small flip door in the middle) or MPI (large garage-door) version? I believe you have that backwards, the Tandon mechanism having the garage-door type mechanism while the MPI has the latch across the center of the disk slot. Bill What's the difference, one earlier, one worth more? I assume mine is the Tandon? ....Also, what can anyone tell me about the 800, 810, and 400 from the serial numbers? I had a memory yesterday of when my dad took the computer back to get the 48k put in, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themrfreeze Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 IIRC, the Tandon mechanism has the small flip up latch, while the MPI mechanism has the wide 'garage-door' mechanism (as seen in the pics above). The Tandon mechanism was supposedly better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
