blakespot Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I see several PAL units moving through. How rare is it to see an NTSC unit come in? bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RasterScan Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I was thinking the same thing. I've been waiting for sometime to pick up a U.S. STe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RasterScan Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 They do but just hard to find...sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Look for Canadian sellers. Quite a few NTSC STe machines were distributed to retailers there, back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) I sold one last year, so yes they do exist Yes they do! I got my STe off evil Bay about two years ago with 4MB installed. :thumbsup: Edited December 1, 2014 by walter_J64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locnar77 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 you can always buy a UK one and replace the TOS roms to US, thats what i did. or go to Best or B&C they still have new ones, for $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 They are out there. I have two, that I bought several years ago on eBay. They pop up every so often. Not as often as the regular ST's or in Europe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griz Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Look for Canadian sellers. Quite a few NTSC STe machines were distributed to retailers there, back in the day. I'm in Canada, always looking out for STEs. They're very rare up here too. you can always buy a UK one and replace the TOS roms to US, thats what i did. or go to Best or B&C they still have new ones, for $500 I could be wrong, but I don't think Best have new STEs. Reconditioned, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locnar77 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 your right, only new 1040st and 520st, the ste's are reconditioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I believe they use brand new cases on their reconditioned, so they look and feel brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zeptari Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm going to buy one from Best or B&C in the next couple years. I just can't decided if I should get a 1040STE or a 1040STfm. Right now I have a 1040Stf that has lots of issues I don't feel like dealing and my Atari monitor is starting to crap out.. Plus I'd like to have a newer system so I'll have the option of hooking it up to any television I have around the house. any idea's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchd61 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 They do indeed show up. I've bought three over the past several years, although one was for parts only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakespot Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I thought about grabbing this, but I'm not going to. (I am going to try and get my 520STM 1MB upgrade working, instead.) So...I'll share. :-) There's an NTSC 1040STE with nice additions on eBay now, from CA, US: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-1040STe-GBS8200-/151516526751?pt=US_Vintage_Computers_Mainframes&hash=item234716b89f bp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
