    Really wish DHL had a tracking system that actually works.

      @bluejay I'm the buyer not the seller so I didn't have a say LOL

      DHL was dropped by Amazon I don't know if they are using them again, make sure before you sign that the item is in the box I sign without checking and when I open the box camera was missing, very small hole in the box and the guy took off like a jet.

    So I have the opportunity to get a (untested) 1040STF for under $100, yes, no, maybe?

    1. bluejay

      bluejay

      Sure, if you have money to spend.

      $100 isn't bad. 1040ST prices have rised a lot, and the best price I've ever ran across is a 1040st with a monitor for $200. I'd say you go for it!

    Love it when people put up an entire lot of stuff for an insane amount and don't bother to organize or even list what they have: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Huge-Atari-Lot-2600-5200-520ST-400-Sega-Video-Consoles-Games-NIB-Sealed/123172724956?hash=item1cadaaa0dc:g:x6wAAOSwkcFbFaMb

    Recently picked up one of those IPS screen kits for a broken Game Boy Pocket I had laying around. Just got it all connected aaaaand the top half of the motherboard doesn't sit flush. Great.

    Hey Curt, I think my dad preordered one of these for me at Christmas years ago but I'm not sure if it's been cancelled or not. Can I send you an email through the preorder form even if I don't have the order number?

    The box may have a 1984 copyright date but that doesn't prove it was actually released that year. Atari Corp. had a tendency to push out existing stock which is most likely the case here. I've also seen copies of Gremlins with a foil label with a 1984 copyright, but came with a 1986 copyright box in addition to an Atari Corp. warranty form.

    I realized that I replied to so many "What systems do you have" threads over the years that I think I can piece together a pretty accurate personal history of what systems I've owned over the years. Sometimes being an overactive teen pays off LOL

    It should work fine with the VIC, no reason why it wouldn't. P.S. There's a separate board for Commodore stuff right here: https://atariage.com/forums/forum/172-commodore-8-bit-computers/

    For anyone who's ordered from Best recently, how long has it usually taken for Brad to respond? I sent him an email for some parts I need over a week ago and he hasn't responded yet...

      I usually call.  Just ordered something last week and had no problem.  Maybe he's on vacation?  Just make sure you put a reference to Atari in the title line so it doesn't go to his spam filter.

      I sent e-mail request a couple weeks back, I got a response within 1 day (around the holidays too), I responded back and sent payment, and I had my items a few days later.  Did you follow their e-mailing instructions with putting specific Atari item/part number info in the subject line of the e-mail so it gets read?

    3. ApolloBoy

      That's weird, I made sure to mention Atari in the subject line and put down the part numbers of what I wanted. I've ordered from Brad before a few times and he was always prompt so I'm wondering if maybe he went on vacation or something.

    Didn't the Star Wars arcade game have an analog yoke?

    So lately I've been thinking about culling the herd in my collection and getting rid of systems that I don't mess with anymore, and then replacing them with a MiSTer setup. One of these systems happens to be my Amiga 600. It's a German unit which means it has a German keyboard (natch) and outputs PAL/50 Hz video. It's in working order and the previous owner went ahead and replaced the caps. I've also added a CompactFlash hard drive so it has Workbench preloaded (forget which version) and can run WHDLoad. I haven't upgraded it beyond that though I just now ordered a 1 MB trapdoor RAM expansion for it. That all said, it's not exactly pristine. The top case is slightly yellowed and right now it's missing the floppy drive and a few case screws. I do have those on order however, so it'll be whole again soon. The RF modulator is completely missing but I don't know who would use RF on an Amiga in this day and age. I also don't have a monitor cable for it, I've just been using a homemade adapter so I can use it with one of my pre-existing RGB SCART cables. I used to use this on my PVM and OSSC so the 50 Hz video was never an issue with me. The mouse and a US power supply would be included, these were from my old A500 before I sold it. Would anyone here be interested in such a setup?

    EDIT: Sold! So one of the things I asked for Christmas last year was Mappy for the 2600. Sure enough that's what I got... and then some. The person who ordered it for me accidentally got two, and since I don't need a second copy I thought I'd pass this down to someone else here! This is brand new, I haven't even taken the cart out of the baggie yet. You also get the manual, poster and AtariAge sticker. I'm thinking $35 shipped would be fair for everything.

    As of today I'm a second-time 1200XL owner, here's my serial: 72R DA 27862 273 As you might to be able to tell, this is a Taiwan model and here's the real kicker: This was made the same week as my previous 1200XL (which I sold to Guitarman) and is right below that one on the list! I also noticed that it's already on the list as being on Facebook Marketplace, though I just bought it from @ghost1313 over here.

    Starting to put up stuff on eBay, come check out what I have here: https://ebay.to/2RaVtv5

      So far I've been mostly putting up parts I don't need anymore, but there will be some good stuff coming soon!

    Anyone wanna pay over a grand for a few yellowed C128s and 1571? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F193289396411

    Bump.
  22. ApolloBoy
    Got a deal going now, editing the original post now.
  23. ApolloBoy
    The Atari power supplies can be used with the 400, 800 and 1200XL, and can also be used with the 810, 1050 and XF551 disk drives.
  24. ApolloBoy
    I've since fixed the drive, the problems I had after replacing the tantalum cap were a combination of user error and a dirty drive head.
  25. ApolloBoy
    I've been missing having a 1200XL more and more ever since selling mine over 10 years ago, and now I've had a massive itch for one again. With that said, I'm looking for a nice condition 1200XL system with the power supply included. I don't particularly care if the keyboard mylar needs repair or not as I've done it before on my previous one. Shoot me a PM and let's work something out! EDIT: Managed to get a deal going for a 1200XL, no longer looking!
