Awesome! I wonder what else Paul and the gang have up Their sleeves..

[Atari 800 - what causes it to freeze sometimes?]

I’m guessing PIA or CPU. Lately I’ve seen many bad PIAs. To get correct error reporting from the diagnostic cart you really need the factory testing station with it, as it tests IO voltages which can be very telling.

[price of 600xl]

Ive been selling my fully restored and Super S.A.L.T. tested 64k 600xl's for $100, less power supply $85. Anything more than $100 for a 600xl is too much IMO.

Thanks! This version works by holding down OPTION while booting off my SIO to SD.

XEGS trade in for a pristine fully socketed 800xl? I’ll have to think about that one 😀 FYI you can get a new XEGS mobo from Best Electronics for $65..

[ABBUC Highscore competition NOW ;)]

All I found was .atr’s that won’t work on my 800xl. Is there a cracked .xex to be found?

[Incognito install service?]

I'm going to put one in for Kevin Savetz this week. I'll let you know how it goes. Should be a snap. FYI - I have recieved a smashed 800 and a pulverized 810 due to bad packing. That being said,  I have shipped many 800's in banana boxes all over the world. Hit up your produce guy.

I disagree with your second poop, the one on the bottom. That one is not the Ingot (which is the one on top). The bottom one is fine. I've got one and it's been rock-solid for years. This is a better visualization. In both cases, however, it's worth noting that the original photo is nicked from Bruce's eBay auction store (B&C Electronics).

 

 

I am Friends with Bruce and he is aware of this.

Vaseline is thick and sticky. It will make it quiet, but also attract gritty dust. Bad idea.

Teflon spray will lube it and keep it moving freely. It won't be quiet, but it is long lasting lube.

 

My bad idea has been working without flaws since 1980. Lithium grease is better. Dirt is not picky.

[Noisy 1050]

Cotton swab and - a little - vaseline.( or any clean petroleum jelly)
