  1. I see you already made the decision, But I have a creality CR-10 mini and have been happy with it I'd recommend an ender 3 to anyone now (wasn't released when I got my mini) the prusa is nice, and I am waiting to test out the prusament, but if you are on a tight budget, the ender 3
  2. I just found some that were in a ziplock bag for over (oh geez!) 9 years, probably much more(20 years?)
  3. aha! this widget was one of my most sought after things back in the late 80's I still want one and would even use it after I get a finalgrom
  4. I did that, they work nice, but not super perfect, when I get motivated I might do a remix of them so they can be free standing without being topheavy and tipping over
  5. update, merged the ones I "found" with the ones I had purchased when I returned to the hobby a few months ago I am also betting that I got one more hidden somewhere, because for the last decade or 3 i'd come across a single cartridge with ZERO rhyme or reason. was an educational cartridge so I didn't pursue it, but those TI carts are so well made that I could not just toss it. I need to build a good joystick/joypad. I've been spoiled so much with wasd that the esdx is utterly foreign to me, but that is another story
  6. got a duplicate of it with a red label, I thought those were rarer well, redder
  7. this is odd got my TI when I was 13(i think) moved onto better things when I was 19(ish) got back a TI a few months ago (at the age of 50) found these in some storage I had of "stuff" these are NOT from when I was 13-19, so I go them in my30's40s? I have no idea why the ones I like I already have so these are duplicates unless someone convinces me that these are really valuable, I am going to look into making some molds as the 3d printed carts don't look appealing to me, destroying the carts in the process
  8. I really doubt this, just that the commie guys must be congregating somewhere else hindsight says I shoulda got a c64
  9. "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  10. just wondering if anyone was able to and for what reasons or if anyone wished there was a PEB expander box?
  11. as nice as 3d printing is, some one really needs to make a resin mold for the carts
  12. I can spare the space, and I might be able to spare the cash (I do not see prices bandied about) for a full PEB, but I do not see them often available, is there schematics available? is it just a busboard backplane with power added or is there some logic? I'd like to blue[print s the old PEB cards to see how hard it would be for local PCB shops to replicate so yeah, I might be investing in 2 PEBS, plus the 32k's AND some naopebs (and find out *why* they are flaky, so we can fix em)
  13. what link, the one i looked at said the grom cart out of stock (i honestly could have been looking at the wrong one)
  14. I notice that xabin has had some issue trying to get their machine up and running, and that it looks like no one is offering repair services for these, am I correct? I am thinking of getting back into the electronics repair biz, maybe just for hobby money. so, what breaks the most and where is the best source for finding DOA TI stuff for me to start a gesalt pile with?
  15. Hi guys, I have just the console and have been reading around and was wondering what is the best way to get things upgraded to the max. I see things like the tipi, the nanopeb, regular pebs, 32k sidecars, finalgrom and all sorts of stuff, some requiring others in order to work what still has a chance of being found, what stuff should I put on my ebay search list, and what stuff can i expect to find new? really tempted to find a full size PEB and build/repair as I go.
  16. Hams are nice people, they should be able to help 73, kc9esf
  17. what state are you in? maybe a fellow TI nut can lend a hand it might be me if your state was wisconsin
  18. none at all but i did some tinkering and got a cable to give me video, if I hold the wires just right like I said, I am waiting for the 5 pin DINs to show up and i'll make my own cable. played a few carts, the 2nd 4a has a boatload of carts
  19. Hi I went to a hamfest/swapmeet the other weekend and there i saw it a TI 99 4A, the first computer i ever bought, back when I was 13 I thought 'I'm 50 now, I can afford to splurge on something nostalgic, considering it has formed my career life since I got it' bought it, hooked it up, no light on RF modulator hmm, maybe I should check on the net to see if there is some info many google searches later (and all the youtube videos and a purchase off craigslist for another unit) I go to a forum and post so I am not quite sure where to start (FYI, din plugs from amazon are on the way to build cable to test while waiting for delivery of other 4A unit)
