+wood_jl Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) well, I must admit... I figured people would go off in another direction, and tell me not to 'mount' it... Incognito is VERY good-looking. Because of this, it will undoubtedly be "mounted." However, I urge caution, and suggest that protection be used. Upon delivery, the unit will have been passed around like a sailor, as it makes its way around the world in transit. Better double-bag it, as by the time it gets to you, you don't know where it's been. Edited July 24, 2012 by wood_jl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 So are Atari 800's suddenly going to become scarce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well... I just bought one Atari 800 pal 48kb for 170 euro! Rather expensive ... But worth it I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well... I just bought one Atari 800 pal 48kb for 170 euro! Rather expensive ... But worth it I believe.

atari8warez Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've been looking for one for a while, they command a higher price than the XL/XE series, plus the shipping from abroad. Will just keep looking I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The 800 I recently picked up was about $45. It was untested and didn't include a BASIC cart. Once I plugged the RAM boards in properly it worked fine and I already had a BASIC XL cart so no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Are PAL 800s much more rare? As much as I love the old beige Atari 800 ("JayMiner800" to some...ha ha.) it is neither rare nor particularly valuable here in U.S. I'd like to have a PAL 800. In the event that I was able to locate one, I probably could not be picky about the condition. If I were to find a beat-up PAL 800, stuff like the case could be swapped with a Yankee model to make it pretty, right? Is the difference (between PAL and NTSC) confined to the little card that has the CPU/Antic/GTIA (if indeed those are the things on it)? Would changing that card for one out of a PAL machine convert the machine? Motherboard or power board different? Thanks to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 you would need antic and gtia plus some parts you can pick up in any store the only thing left to get is crystal you need to change - you may pull that out from broken pal XL board, or buy from one of atari suppliers mine was ntsc, but now is 100% PAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+tf_hh Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi, Wolfram (Mega-Hz) has let produce a bunch of 14,187 MHz crystals needed for PAL XL/XE. So this could be (in junction with a 1:4 frequency devisor, a 74LS74 is enough) a solution, too. Jürgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
