Atari 1050 Disk Drive with Happy Enhancement (To see of interest for Sale)

[Humblejack]

Hi all,

I am just posting to see if there is any interest in buying a 1050 disk drive. I am thinking ebay but want to know if it's worth my time to list it.

 

Thanks,

People go crazy for the Happy mod on the 1050. In terms of value, I can tell you that the other day I sold my working 1050 (non-happy) with power supply, SIO cable and manual for $100. eBay sold listings are tough to use as a gauge for this item because most are sold untested and without cables. My guess is you could sell a happy modded 1050 for between $150-200, assuming it has the PSU and SIO cable.

Thanks for the info. I do have the cable and power supply and the floppy disk. I think I will stick it up on ebay soon.
