Atari8bitCarts Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) some recent finds. I've been looking for Rally for years, and this one is in great shape. Then a sealed R-Time Cart! I had a CIB of Super Zaxxon cartridge, but some asshole contacted the seller and stole it out from under the bidders. The seller had no idea what it was worth and lost a ton. So if you know a dirtbag with a boxed Super Zaxxon cartridge, just getting it off eBay, tell them what an A$$ move.

ryanmercer Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yet another 800xl, this one though has a Rambo 256k and upgraded video board with s-video/composite video/audio output. Can't wait for it to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it, Zorro had a bid of $100, you bid $120, then he made a side deal and paid $300. Don't think he/she has joined AA (the good one) yet...

Banquo Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Last week I bought my very first Atari 800 home computer and nine game cartridges (Asteroids, Centipede, Defender, Donkey Kong, Galaxian, Missile Command, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Star Raiders). I had a 2600 and Colecovision as a kid but this is already by far my favorite old system. I love the 70s styling; I've always wanted one. When I first hooked it up I was afraid that I had gotten a dead system. The power light would come on but there was no picture, not even a flicker on the TV. I thought perhaps the RF cable might be shorted so I took it apart intending to swap it with the cable from my 2600 only to discover that the cable wasn't even plugged into the board inside. I don't know if it fell out or if a previous owner had forgotten to connect it but now it works perfectly. I still need to give it a good cleaning, there is a lot of dust in the keys, but I think it's in really good condition. I'm also very glad it survived the trip undamaged; the seller just shipped it in a big box with no padding. Yikes! The RF picture was decent but a bit snowy, then I remembered I had an old busted Zenith ZKB-2 PC keyboard with a DIN-5 connector so I cut off its cable, got out my soldering iron, heat shrink tubing and some RCA connectors and wired up a composite cable (happily I can also use it for my TI-99/4a computer). The picture is crystal clear now but I'll probably buy an S-Video cable for it someday. Anyway that's my latest and greatest purchase, now I'm going to play some Donkey Kong. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simba7 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 A total of 3x Rana Systems 1000 drives. One has a faulty Write Protect sensor, so EVERYTHING is write protected. So far, no gripes here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almerian Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Not on Ebay, but on Marktplaats, a Dutch auction site owned by Ebay: A nice clean unmodified boxed 800XL with type 1 keyboard (great!) for 30 euros, a Philips CM8833 CRT monitor in exchange for some spring flowers (local pick-up). And to check out the other side: a C128 with 1571. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Note PURELY Atari-related, but last weekend I bought a copy of Richard Mansfield's MACHINE LANGUAGE FOR BEGINNERS. I had this one as a kid and used it to teach myself 6502 assembler. Although PDFs of all these old books are readily available, it's still nice to hold a paper book sometimes, especially once that has particular meaning.

richard13 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Atari 65XE computer new in box. I didn't have one of these back in the day (had a 130XE) but couldn't justify getting the more expensive 130XE for use nowadays. Of course, I say that now but.... Anyway, hoping to look at my old code and maybe play some games soon with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banquo Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Just got my 1050 drive in the mail for my Atari 800. Still in the original box and it was a very nice box, until the guy mailed it. He didn't box it up or wrap it or anything, just stuck big mailing labels all over it and ruined it. Maybe I can get them off with the hair dryer trick. He also listed it as like new never used everything included. Turns out it was not only used but the cables and OS disk are missing and the manual has someone's name written on it. Times like these that I really hate buying stuff online. Oh well, at least the drive itself is in great condition. Just need to order the cables and stuff now even though I thought I already bought them with it. I just hope it actually works.

Especially if it was advertised as "w/box" which would be part of the price. Good luck to you in getting it working and all. Might want to talk with the seller to see if he can give you a partial refund or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you in getting it working and all. Might want to talk with the seller to see if he can give you a partial refund or something. I know, I've never had anyone ship something like that before. I spent about an hour with a hair dryer and fortunately I was able to get the labels off without damaging it. I used a little Goo Gone on a cloth and was able to wipe off the remaining residue also, good thing the box has a glossy finish. I'm still disappointed that the SIO cable and the Atari DOS disk is missing, but on the plus side it had a few extra manuals in the box; one for the 810 disk drive and one for the 1030 modem. The drive is in great shape with no yellowing at all and no scratches on the chrome trim and it still has the shipping cardboard insert in it, so all in all not a bad deal (assuming it works of course). I'm pretty confident that it will though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddtmw Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I bought an original Atari Basic Reference Manual. It was only $1 plus $5.95 shipping and handling and this thing looked brand new. Very little yellowing and no torn binder holes. I was shocked at the condition it was in. I also bought a Wico joystick. It was not in the best of shape. I may have to bite the bullet and buy one of the "new" ones out there. In fact, I'm just going to go do it! -Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wico joysticks are really great, but I think my favorite is the Suncom TAC-2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddtmw Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I wish I had kept my Wico's. I had 2 the standard bat and then one that had 3 or 4 different handles. Played the crap out of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important part is that the drive itself seems to be in good cosmetic condition. Hopefully it works just as beautifully. I'm thinking about getting a 1050 myself but then again, I might just as well get an SIO2SD instead. I bought an original Atari Basic Reference Manual.

I am tempted to buy one of those "new" Wico joysticks but at $54.99 plus shipping of $10 seems like a high price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
