Boy I guess in the two years I have been gone everyone I knew has disapeared from the 8 bit computers.

Well it would be nice to make some new friends too. I see many people have looked but no repsonses.

Two years ago everyone use to say hi to people coming back to the web site.

 

Well I guess things have changed,and this is no longer the way it use to be. Well I guess that I am getting

old and do not know how things work now.

Welcome back... I think you probably posted at a quiet time.

Hey there, Sean. Yep, I was away from my terminal... half of my studio got flooded yesterday... had to take four antique Roland analog synths apart to clean them with alcohol & dry them. Sux more than you can imagine...all of my guitar effects, my vintage Roland MIDI bass, lots of cables, plus rugs & all the other floodable stuff on that side of the room. Total nightmare. Hopefully nothing is permanently f*cked... I don't plan on applying power for a good three to four days, just to be on the safe side. Thankfully, nothing in my racks was drenched & it didn't get my computers,  guitars, or amps. Killed my day, that's for sure. I still have to clean ALL (lots & lots) of the potentiometers & switches with TV-tuner cleaner... ugg... lots of stupid-work ahead. So much wasted time... Very frustrating.

 

Anyway, nice to see you back, good luck with your projects!

Hi now that that is back out. I have a Machine that has the Serial number 57020 E very old Machine.

I wish I could find the ones my father talked about. They were suppose to be all pulled out of the Stores in 1977.

 

Here the machine I am talking about in 1977 the Stores displayed Atari CX-2600 but they did not work on Channel 2 or 3.

 

They hook to a small black square looking monitor. These Atari machine actually use composite Video and sound.

 

They would hook up to the small size monitor and give a much clearer picture than the ones you bought. Well Atari pulled

them out of the Stores and I do not know if any did survive. they do exist if Atari did not destroy them.

 

This info came from my dad. I do have all the first 9 cartridge realease in 1977 with the numbers on the end lables.

 

The ones you do not see much more of. I also have a pair of CX-10 joy sticks in mint Condition as well for the Paddles.

 

Well I know this should be on the Atari 2600 area. Now that not all I have I have a original Atari 400,800,130XE

all in wonderful working condition.

 

I have much more but it would take for ever to list it all.

 

I just wanted to get back up here and make some good friends. 1983 my father went to the east cost after Atari had their

problems I will say. My dad started to work for an electronic company in Viriginia and eventually went to work for Raytheon Corp.

 

Anyways I saw pretty cool electronics from atari growing up. I am now up in age but that ok.

 

I was 9 when they started to work on the 2600 and by the time they hit the store I was very close to 10 years of age.

I thought they hit the store in October of 1977. Not sure it so long ago that my memory not that good anymore.

 

Special note those machines ith composite Video and Sound were for store Displays only and were never sold.

Now you can see how rare they would be if you found one.
