Atari Lynx with LED backlight!

[Jess Ragan]

Deal currently on hold until I can find the Zaku cartridge, which seems to have vanished. Unless I threw it out with some electronics junk I had lying around, in which case it's cancelled outright. My apologies in advance.

Here's a gift for the retro gamer who has everything: an Atari Lynx with LED lamps replacing the power-hungry fluorescent bulb in standard models. Amaze your friends with a Lynx that gets more game time out of a set of AA batteries than anyone thought possible! This package will include a variety of games, including hits like Blue Lightning, Roadblasters, and Todd's Adventures in Slime World, along with the brand new release Zaku. Make offers today... the best one takes it all!

 

Pictures?

Scroll down to the center of the page. My apologies for not posting them right here; my laptop died on me and I'm working on my desktop in the meantime.

Bumpity bump with a few pictures for good measure. Included is an image of the Lynx just before it was green-geared, along with snapshots of two games running on the system after its operation. Note that the Lynx doesn't look any different from an ordinary one; the mod is all internal and the only way you'll know it's there is because the batteries you bought lasted longer than an hour and a half.

How much you asking

[Jess Ragan]

Send me an offer in a private message. If it's not enough I'll let you know.

 

The games included are Roadblasters, Slime World, Pinball Jam, Blue Lightning, Cybervirus, Steel Talons, and of course Zaku. Zaku is going to cost you at least forty dollars elsewhere, so keep that in mind before you make an offer!

Scroll halfway down the screen and you'll find it.

 

The system's still available, folks!

[Gregory DG]

Wow, I never knew the Lynx had a florescent bulb in it! Nice work Jess!

[Crazy Climber]

Nice! I hate make an offer stuff though, sorry If you post a price though let me know

[Jess Ragan]

(sigh)

 

If I overprice, I scare everyone away, but if I underprice, I screw myself. I'll tell you what... we'll START at $150. If you feel that's too much, make offers. I have a set minimum but $150 isn't it... that's the ideal.

[raskar42]

150! AAAAAH! (runs away scared)

[Jess Ragan]

(bump)

 

$135. It does include Zaku, guys. That's going to cost you $40 separately.

[Jess Ragan]

Still available, folks.

[Jess Ragan]

Bump. $130.

[Jess Ragan]

Bump. $120.

[Jess Ragan]

Bump.

[Jess Ragan]

Bump.

[Jess Ragan]

Come on, guys.

[Jess Ragan]

The last guy backed out on his offer, so the Lynx is back up for grabs.

[Crazy Climber]

I'll offer $100 shipped (gift payment) for the system and Zaku, PM sent

[Jess Ragan]

Uuuuuurgh... I think I misplaced the Zaku cartridge. Someone lock this thread until I get my head out of my butt.
