FS near Bay Area, CA - Atari 800 collection

[Dervacumen]

I'm making room for my new collection of arcade games.

 

I've got about three hundred disks full of software, (roughly 1000 programs), about 15 cartridges (mostly non-game stuff), about 30-50 Antic and Compute! magazines, many with the original disks, an Atari Touch Tablet (boxed) Edumate Light Pen, MPP-1150 printer interface, 850 interface, two more Atari 800's (1 with no case anymore (?), the other with an original custom wired RAMdisk built by Scott Peterson (who I knew) while he was stationed at Fort Ord, CA. I think it's a 288K module. You can see the wiring in the pics. 3 810 disk drives (one I wrote on with a permanent marker warning me not to turn it on becuase it was partially disassembled), 1 810 Happy disk drive, about 15 books on programming the Atari, the original manuals for almost all of the hardware. I've also got a 3 inch binder full of photocopied documentation for several games, and other interesting stuff like Atari software protection techniques. Paddles, Joysticks. Also a collection of various 5.25 floppy sleeves, each different, about 50 or so I guess. Also about 8 new in box 16K memory modules, a nice cloth cover for the Atari computer, several I/O cables, power supplies, etc.

 

The connector that attaches the Arati 800 to the tv siwtchbox is broken (as seen in the picture) but the extra disassembled Atari 800 has the cable in excellent shape. It's a quick matter to swap the two. I do NOT have the TV switch box.

 

I also have many many pictures. I can email a zip file of the pics and a couple of Excel spreadsheets listing all the software titles, magazines, and miscellaneous docs.

 

There is probably too much to bother with shipping, but I work in San Jose during the week so I caould make arrangements to meet somewhere. The collection is in Hollister, CA.

 

I've included only a few pics to give some idea of what I've got.

 

You can look at some of my posts on www.byoac.com (dervacumen) or my ebay feedback (dervacumen53i1) for assurance.

 

Don't really know what this is all worth and don't have the time or desire to try to make a minor fortune selling things individually on Ebay.

 

If someone is in the area or you have any questions just let me know.

 

Thanks.
