Is it Atari 800 or 800XL mylar?

I would like to clarify one thing: you can order game just now, but shipping will takes place in around 6-8 weeks. We are just polishing things

Atari 800 mylar has been made. However, I am not satisfied with final result. Manufacturer is not able to improve it. I am looking for new manufacturer, but prices are crazy - probably it will never be compensated due to low demand. Additionally, I do not have any 800 with mylar keyboard for further testing.

800XL mylar is nearly ready, but I am working on some improvements.

Finally, our new game The Rescue Expedition goes into production. Should be ready at the end of August. Written by Kamil "Gorgh" Trzaska. If you are interested in it, please send mail to: zamowienia(at)retronics.eu. Only 100 copies will be available! Game will be released in English only.

Some new models being manufactured. Available for sale very soon!

Erik, Deathland and Vicky have been released. Lancelot - not yet. Regarding disk versions, I am going to release first utility software - Quick Assembler by JBW, released in the 90s by LK Avalon. It is a suite of programs, useful for coders. I wonder if it is a good idea to release also English version?

David, not yet, but in around 2 weeks I will have available some disk titles.

8th set is ready. Now I manufacture much less pieces in every set, due to decreasing demand. Therefore, if anybody wants to order - hurry up!

Vladimir, I did not. They are available from other people, so I am focusing on rarer models. F.e. you can buy it here: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283368790504

Not yet. Only XE single layer are available. Others - soon.

David, I will have a few new releases very soon. Please reply to my PM....

It is not a matter of difficulty. My releases are in fact re-releases. I wanted to keep signal as it was, including copy protection schemes. Nothing removed, nothing added. All of these titles were originally released in period 1989-1996.

Do you mean audio track? If yes - no. None of them.

Next set ready. 70 titles released so far!

Samples have been made, but they need to be corrected. We are working on it.

1200XL and 7800 are planned, but market is really small for both I think.

Level42, do you suggest not to make them? If demand is low, it is a good idea. I will not loose invested money....

Two new models available, not Atari related, but maybe someone needs them.

greblus, 600XL and 800XL have the same mylar, but: 1. we are talking here about Atari 800, not 800XL... 2. there were also mechanical keyboards for XL series (4 types), 5th was with membrane. I am going to manufacture 800XL mylar too.

All samples are gone for now..... Awaiting feedback from testers.

AFAIK, yes, only one type. If you are sure that your keyboard has mylar, not mechanical keys - PM your shipping address, please.

Bumping the thread. I still have a few pieces of Atari 800 mylars (not XL) which need to be tested. I do not have such keyboard. Who wants to help me? Free shipping and tester can keep the mylar after tests!

Okay, will manufacture them then!

"Spring" version, called single layer mylar for XE is ready for ordering. Price is $25 each, shipment worldwide $10. It is pre-order, shipments will start in around 2 weeks. Later price may be higher. Not many manufactured, therefore hurry with your order! Payments can be done via Paypal: zamowienia(at)retronics.eu After making payment, please send e-mail to the above address with your shipping address and what you have ordered. This info can be included during Paypal payment too.
